South Florida’s best upcoming concerts

Much like the movies scheduled for January, concerts are a little thin on the ground. It seems that the majority of artists performing in South Florida this month are geared towards the nostalgic crowd.

We have included two New Year’s Eve options because, hey – you never know – you may suddenly have a hankering to buy some tickets on a whim and jump on a plane. Maybe one of your resolutions is to be more carefree and impulsive. If you pony up the bucks at the last minute to see Justin Bieber or Billy Joel on Dec. 31, you’ll be getting a jump start on that particular promise.
