Her 2020 debut album “Life Support” gave us the fan-favorite “Selfish,” while 2023’s “Silence Between Songs” earned a Grammy nomina- tion for Best Immersive Audio Album, and her 2025 single “Make You Mine” landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. You’ll hear those tracks, along with standouts from her latest LP. Beer will also be joined by “Girls Like Me Don’t Cry” singer Thủy and singer-songwriter Lulu Simon. 7:30 p.m. at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Wy., Hollywood; 954-797-5531; casino.hardrock.com. Tickets $54 to $120 via ticketmaster.com. CAROLINE VAL FRI 7/3 ▼ MIAMI GARDENS UP THE BRACKET The World Cup is in our backyard this sum- mer, and a Round of 32 knockout match is landing at Hard Rock Stadium during the holiday weekend. At press time, the teams are still TBD, but at this point in the tourna- ment, the players don’t really matter — the energy in that stadium will be infectious. 6 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, 347 Don Shula Dr., Miami Gardens; 305-943-8000. Ticket costs vary via hardrockstadium.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ DORAL SPEAKING IN TONGUES New York-based comedian Santi Espinosa has been doing stand-up for more than a decade, with writing that is personal and anecdotal, and that feels more like a conversation than a performance. His latest show, “Espanglish” — exactly what it sounds like: a bilingual set — will meet its ideal audience at the Miami Improv Friday night. Espinosa is one of only a few comics to have played the New York Comedy Festival in both languages, and he’s performed to sold- out crowds from Bogotá to London. 7:30 p.m. at the Miami Improv, 3450 NW 83rd Ave., Doral; 305-441-8200. Tickets cost $36 via miamiimprov.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN SAT 7/4 ▼ MIAMI BEACH LIGHT IT UP This year’s Fourth of July holiday is also the country’s 250th birthday, and South Beach is throwing a waterfront celebration to match. An orchestral concert begins at 8:30 p.m. at Lummus Park and 12th St., with fireworks ex- pected to light up the night sky at 9 p.m. Ex- pect patriotic favorites like Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” and Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” with the show viewable from Ocean Drive’s sidewalk cafés, rooftop bars, or even from the reliable comfort of a good ol’ beach blanket. Citywide trolley ser- vice runs from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., and traffic is expected to be heavy, so leave your car be- hind. 8:30 p.m. at Lummus Park, 1130 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach; 305-673-7783; miami- beachfl.gov. Admission is free. CAROLINE VAL ▼ WYNWOOD GRINDIN’ If your Fourth of July plans don’t involve dancing to Afrobeats, amapiano, and dance- hall until 3 a.m., Stamped and Bashment, two of Miami’s most beloved party organizers, are teaming up to fix that. DJs Silent Addy, Disco Neil, and AYA are on the lineup, with more special guests to be announced. Skip the fireworks, parades, and traffic, but keep the party. 9 p.m. at Midline Miami, 2221 NW Miami Ct., Miami; midlinemiami.com. Tick- ets cost $0 to $20 via eventbrite.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN SUN 7/5 ▼ DOWNTOWN MIAMI FREE-FOR-ALL Miami’s free, 23-day fútbol party is coming to a close.
