The indie-pop duo’s songs like “Daylight” and “Lessons Learned” were probably the soundtrack to your 20s. Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino have continued to churn out music over the years, with their last full- length, Almost Everyday, released in 2018 and the EP Be Kind Rewind in 2021. The duo is back on the road, stopping at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday with North Carolina quartet Babe Haven as the opener. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, at Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale; cul- tureroom.net. Tickets $37.50 via ticketmas- ter.com. JOSE D. DURAN SUN 9/17 ▼ MIAMI SHORES DANCING QUEEN The 2008 jukebox movie musical Mamma Mia! had no right to be as good as it was. But it’s hard to go wrong when you have Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan as your cast and a smash West End musical as your source material. With songs by Swedish pop auteurs ABBA, Mamma Mia! will have you tapping your toes and singing along. Luckily, when at O Cinema’s screening at the Miami Theater Center on Sunday, you’re welcome to do just that. 4 p.m. Sunday, at the Miami Theater Cen- ter, 9806 NE Second Ave., Miami Shores; o-cin- ema.org. Tickets $13.50–$15.

SOPHIA MEDINA TUE 9/19 ▼ MIDTOWN HIGH ‘N’ LOW If you hope to get a seat at David Chang’s Mo- mofuku Ko next time you’re in New York, good luck — seats are hard to come by. The two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the East Village is the crown jewel in Chang’s culinary empire. Luckily, it’s popping up in midtown Miami at Maty’s as part of its Momofuku Ko on Tour series on Tuesday and Wednesday. For $150 per person, you can see what all the fuss is about for yourself. 5 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, at Maty’s 3255 NE First Ave., Miami; matysmiami.com. Tickets $150 via resy.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN WED 9/20 ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE ARE YOU OVER IT? Messi, Messi, Messi — that’s all anyone is talking about these days. Inter Miami CF is currently vying for the U.S. Open Cup, and the Argentine soccer superstar is helping the team lead the charge. They face off against the Houston Dynamo FC on Septem- ber 27 in the finals. But before that, Inter Miami still has its regular season to contend with, including a match against Toronto FC. The team sits well outside of playoff conten- tion — but crazier things have happened. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, at DRV PNK Stadium, 5201 NW 12th Ave.; Fort Lauderdale; inter- miamicf.com. Tickets $23–$750 via ticket- master.com. ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN ▼ DOWNTOWN THE BEST IDEA SZA stops at the Kaseya Center on Wednesday as part of her SOS Tour. The singer-songwriter released her sophomore album, SOS, at the end of 2022 to critical acclaim, along with the we’ve-all-been- there-before single “Kill Bill.” The record was released too late to make it onto everyone’s end-of-the-year lists, but expect it to dominate when 2023 comes to a close. (Yes, it’s that good!) “SOS is just that — a phenomenal record that barely puts a foot wrong and raises the bar even higher than she set it before,” wrote NME’s Rhian Daly in her five-star review of the album. 8 p.m. Wednesday, at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd, Miami; 786-777-1000; kaseyacenter.com. Tickets $34.75–$194.75 via ticketmaster.com. SOPHIA MEDINA [email protected] Matt and Kim at Culture Room Saturday Fader Label photo
