What’s better: rock or hip hop? Jazz or reggae? Who’s to say? As many genres of music there are, as many or maybe more preferences you can find. If you are planning to visit Miami, you might be able to find out what makes your bones shake and lifts your spirit.
First, here are some quick tips to enjoy your experience. B.Y.O.W. “bring your own water”. Water at the venues is very expensive, so try to bring at least a bottle from home. Make sure you take into account all the transit options, if you are going with friends and want to arrive together, you might want to rent a van to pack your friends and a cooler full of goodies, but remember where you parked, it will save you a lot of trouble. Bring clear zip-lock bags with your favorite snacks, apples, string cheese and trail mix just to give you some ideas. Last but not least, get one of those portable phone chargers.
