Uproxx’s Ultimate Party Guide For Miami Music Week 2025

miami music week
MERLE COOPER/UPROXX

Miami Music Week is the ultimate marathon for dance music lovers — seven days of non-stop partying and sunrise-to-sunset (and back to sunrise) dancing. Each year, Miami transforms into a mecca for electronic music, with the world’s biggest DJs and underground tastemakers taking over nightclubs, rooftop lounges, and poolside stages. Whether you’re a house head, a techno purist, or bass head, one thing is certain: sleep is optional (unless you’re staying at one of these amazing hotels).

The options are overwhelming, but don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. From the all-night, all-morning madness at Club Space, where the party doesn’t stop until you do, to the sprawling, open-air playground of Factory Town, where industrial vibes meet world-class sound systems, there’s no shortage of places to lose yourself in the music. And of course, no Miami Music Week is complete without the iconic EDMAs pool party at The Clevelander, where crystal-clear waters meet chart-topping DJs in the heart of South Beach.

With so many events happening simultaneously, you need a solid game plan to hit the best of the best. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re chasing sunrise at an after-hours set, getting down at an intimate club showcase, or partying under the palm trees at a VIP day party, Uproxx is here to guide you through the wildest, most unforgettable moments of Miami Music Week 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter Went Full Eiffel Tower For A Risqué ‘Juno’ Position In Paris

sabrina carpenter 2024 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t doing “Nonsense” outros on tour anymore, but she has launched another fun concert tradition: Before the second chorus of “Juno,” as she sings “Wanna try out some freaky positions? / Have you ever tried this one,” Carpenter strikes a suggestive pose, switching them up between concerts.

Well, she brought the Short N’ Sweet Tour to Paris for a second night yesterday (March 17), and when it came time for the position, she paid tribute to France by recruiting two of her dancers to help her with an “Eiffel Tower” pose (here’s a photo and video).

As for what the “Eiffel Tower” is (aside from the actual French landmark)… well, it’s a sex position that you can Google (at your own risk if you’re not opposed to seeing some NSFW pages) if you want to learn more.

As one X (formerly Twitter) user put it, “sabrina carpenter had the chance to do the funniest thing in paris and of course… she DID IT.”

Meanwhile, Carpenter was just named a headliner for the 2025 edition of Lollapalooza, alongside Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler The Creator, Rüfüs Du Sol, Luke Combs, Twice, ASAP Rocky, Korn, Gracie Abrams, and Doechii. The fest is set to go down in Chicago from July 31 to August 3.

GloRilla Is Golden Performing ‘Whatchu Kno About Me’ With Sexyy Red At The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards

GloRilla not only won Hip-Hop Artist Of The Year at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, she also performed during the ceremony.

The rapper started things off with “Never Find” (featuring K Carbon) from her debut album Glorious before she and Sexyy Red performed “Whatchu Kno About Me.” The entire time, she was wearing and surrounded by gold. More like GoldRilla.

“I ain’t won an award in a good minute, so I brought my special thanks out,” GloRilla said during her acceptance speech, adding, “Don’t let nobody tell y’all what y’all can’t do, because they tried to count me out but look where I’m at.”

Last year, GloRilla and Sexyy Red interviewed each other about the positive response to “Whatchu Kno About Me” from fans. “I think ’cause they wanted to see me and you on a song together for so long,” GloRilla said, while Sexyy added, “Before I just came up here, I was in the car laying down. I ain’t say nothing, but I heard it on the radio. Usually, I’ll call like, ‘Y’all heard it? Y’all heard it?’ But I keep hearing it, so it’s like I’m not even finna keep saying nothing. This muthaf*cka just be playing.”

You can watch GloRilla’s performance at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards above.

The NFL Gives A Behind-The-Scene Glimpse At The Making Of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Performance

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance remains one of the most talked-about television moments of 2025. From juicing sales of the sneakers he wore to prompting Oscars host Conan O’Brien to continue roasting Drake, it’s had a long-lasting impact on pop culture (even if much of mainstream America didn’t get the message).

Today, the NFL has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic performance in the form of a 30-minute mini-documentary detailing its creation, from the design phase to its implementation. If you were wondering how the mind-blowing, PlayStation-themed stage was built and broken down in under eight minutes, your answer is here. Interviews with creative directors (check out Uproxx’s first-ever Sound+Vision Awards honoring some of their peers here), and engineers break down some of the logistics of the stage construction, which has to take into account even seemingly minute details such as the type of grass on the field.

One of the main challenges for the crew: hunting down the 1987 Buick Grand National Experimental from which Kendrick’s latest album takes its title and modifying it to fit 30 dancers, who popped out during the performance like a clown car in the circus. You can watch the documentary above.

Could There Be A ‘Halo’ Season 3 On Netflix?

halo-lg-netflix-paramount-plus
Amblin Television/Paramount Plus

Mistakes were (allegedly) made during the Halo TV series, which ran for two seasons on Paramount Plus before being given the ax last summer. One of those errors, which was acknowledged by star Pablo Schreiber, happened to be the decision for Master Chief to get sexy. Maybe we should forget that? Please. (But also be happy that he wasn’t wearing the Pornstache look.)

For whatever reason, the series adaptation of Xbox Game Studios’ popular first-person shooter game wasn’t meant to last on Paramount Plus. However, both existing seasons landed on Netflix this month, and within one week, they racked up 4.2 million views on the Top 10 Weekly TV shows list. The binging then went full force with those viewers racking up 32.1 million hours viewed in that same time, which isn’t too shabby for a cancelled show. And as that newfound audience has finished all 17 episodes, a question has arisen. And there actually might be a positive answer lurking around the corner.

Will There Be A Halo Season 3 On Netflix?

It’s possible. Speculative, but certainly possible, since producers were/are reportedly looking to rehome the series for more than streaming old eps.

Back when Paramount Plus cancelled the series, TVLine reported that “Amblin Television, Xbox and 343 Industries are shopping Halo Season 3 elsewhere, with Paramount+’s blessing.” A further statement from 343 Industries read, “We deeply appreciate the millions of fans who propelled the Halo series to be a global success and we remain committed to broadening the Halo universe in different ways in the future.”

So, could this early Netflix run be a test? Considering that this streaming service picked up more seasons of You, Lucifer, and Manifest after those shows didn’t fare so well elsewhere and/or were outright cancelled, Halo could meet the same fate. Again, no official word on this has surfaced, but TVLine’s report suggests that eyeballs are carefully watching what happens with Halo in the bingewatching department.

Saba & No ID Release Their Long-Awaited Album, ‘From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID’

saba

Some of y’all reading this are probably too young to remember, but there was a time albums came out on Tuesday instead of Friday. Recently, a few artists have taken a swing at reviving the tradition, including Tyler The Creator, Earthgang, and now, Saba and No ID. The two Chicago natives have been promising their joint album, From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID, for quite some time, and today, it’s finally arrived.

The duo kicked off the rollout back in 2023, with the release of the single, “Back In Office” (which does not appear on the final tracklist), following up with “Hue_man Nature” (likewise, was left off the final product). “Head.Rap,” “How To Impress God,” and “Woes Of The World” all made it onto the album, though, as do collaborations with Kelly Rowland and Raphael Saadiq (“Crash”), BJ The Chicago Kid and Eryn Allen Kane (“Every Painting Has A Price”), and all of Saba’s fellow Pivot Gang members.

So, what took so long to get From The Private Collection… out to the world? Audiomack’s Brian Zisook posted a fascinating conversation with Saba on Twitter, in which the Windy City MC blamed the nearly endless delays on a single sample clearance. Janet Jackson’s “I Get So Lonely,” used on track two, “Breakdown,” required a personal co-sign from Ms. Jackson herself, which Saba was finally able to secure after finessing a meeting with Jimmy Jam backstage at The NAMM Show. After connecting Jimmy and No ID (who didn’t have Jimmy’s number), the veteran producers were able to make it shake, although the clearance didn’t come through until February 25, the original planned release date (which was never officially announced, but known to a few).

“It’s a privilege to work with No ID. I wanted it to sound like that,” Saba explained. “We figured it out. We made it work. And now, finally, the world gets to hear it.”

From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID is out now. You can find it here.

Lil Durk Reveals His ‘Deep Thoughts’ Album Release Date With A Trailer Sharing His Studio Process

Lil Durk
Getty Image

Lil Durk’s upcoming ninth solo studio album, Deep Thoughts, has been delayed ever since October thanks to the Chicago rapper’s ongoing legal issues. But today, he shared some good news for his fans — Deep Thoughts has a new release date: March 28.

Durk revealed the release date alongside a short trailer giving a glimpse into the studio process. In the trailer, Durk’s team sits in the studio while on a call with him from prison, surrounded by whiteboards featuring song titles and sequencing ideas. Over the phone, Durk gives his approval for the concepts his team has been putting together, telling them he loves them before the call cuts off.

The rollout for Deep Thoughts started out smoothly enough, with the release of the singles “Monitoring Me,” “Late Checkout” featuring Hunxho, and “Opportunist,” but it was derailed when Durk was implicated in a “murder-for-hire” plot.

He’s since pled “not guilty,” but is being held without bond until trial. In November, he was charged with two additional felonies: “use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death” and “using, carrying, and discharging firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.”

Fortunately for Durk, he’d already filmed the “Truth In The Lies” video with Central Cee, allowing him to maintain some momentum, and now, it appears his long-awaited follow-up to Almost Healed is ready for the light of day.

Deep Thoughts is out 3/28 via Only the Family, Alamo, and Sony. You can find more info here.

All The Best New Indie Music From This Week

matt berninger and palmyra(1024x450)
Getty Image/Merle Cooper

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels, but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Every week, Uproxx is rounding up the best new indie music from the past seven days. This week, we got new music from Palmyra, Matt Berninger, Set Dressing, and more.

Palmyra – “Palm Readers”

The South holds a rich musical lineage. From country luminaries like Lucinda Williams to hip-hop eccentrics like Outkast, the South has got something to say, as André 3000 so famously put it. Enter Palmyra, a Virginian indie-rock trio that re-configures an instrumental palette of mandocello, upright bass, and banjo to suit the emo-tinged milieu of I’m Wide Awake-era Bright Eyes. Restless, Palmyra’s forthcoming debut album, sets introspective studies on gender dysphoria, self-harm, and financial turmoil to a suite of six-strings. “I’m so damn lonely tonight,” sings Sasha Landon on “Palm Readers,” its latest single. Their words convey deep isolation, but the music underneath is its own balm, as warm and communal as a night in with close friends.

Feeble Little Horse – “This Is Real”

There’s a lot going on in Feeble Little Horse’s new single. “This Is Real,” the Pittsburgh four-piece’s first new song since their 2023 breakthrough Girl With Fish, pushes digital maximalism to its outermost edges, contorting and refashioning the ’90s alt-rock template of their first two records into uncanny (complimentary) shapes. It reaches its apex when Lydia Slocum unleashes the most feral scream in indie rock this side of Black Francis on the bridge of “Monkey Gone To Heaven.” “This Is Real” abides by no strictures or structures. Instead, befit to Feeble Little Horse themselves, it follows its own zany path.

Florist – “Moon, Sea, Devil”

In the years since Florist released their self-titled 2022 album, Emily Sprague found herself thinking more and more about our shared humanity, as “a collective entity, influencing each other and the world around us with many small actions, emotions, and reactions,” as she put it in a press release. The latest preview of the forthcoming Jellywish, like many Florist songs, is a soft, gorgeous paean to the Earth and the people who inhabit it. “So I reach through the veil / All the other worlds surround me,” Sprague sings over a lilting piano and swaying drum beat. Beauty is all around us, and Florist are always happy to point us in its direction.

Matt Berninger – “Bonnet Of Pins”

The National’s most recent records saw the Cincinnati crew traffic in analog drum machines and downtempo piano ballads. Frontman Matt Berninger, on his forthcoming second solo album, Get Sunk, goes back to the tried-and-true, pristine yet punchy indie rock that was all over 2010’s High Violet. Still, as lead single “Bonnet Of Pins” shows, Berninger remakes it in his own image. Alongside a coterie of contemporaries like Meg Duffy and Kyle Resnick, Berninger’s latest batch of character studies is, like “Bonnet Of Pins,” ruefully incisive.

Set Dressing – “Date Line”

Scott Fair of Mandy, Indiana recently announced a new side project, Set Dressing, via the ambient, foreboding anti-single “Class Valedictorian.” Now, with “Date Line,” Set Dressing heads in a poppier direction, albeit one with the twists and turns you’d expect from the lead songwriter of one of the buzziest industrial bands of the moment. Taken from his forthcoming debut EP, I Can’t Be Alone Tonite, “Date Line” is what you’d expect from an artist so adept at defying those expectations. With its cascading synth arpeggios, new wave drums, and vocals pitched-shifted to the high heavens, “Date Line” re-imagines pop music in Fair’s wonderfully strange world.

Sumac & Moor Mother – “Hard Truth”

Sumac and Moor Mother’s first collaborative album, The Film, is full of Homeric epics that stretch well beyond the five-minute mark. For their latest single, “Hard Truth,” the post-metal group and experimental poet opt for brevity. But that’s not to say that the piece is an immediate rush of dopamine. It’s a slow burn that grows from a bubbling, low-end pulse to flashes of distorted, buzzing guitars, which flicker throughout the stereo field like fireflies in an engulfing darkness. It’s merely a hint of the ambitious work to come.

Jack Riedy – Raw Deal

Chicago musician (and music writer) Jack Riedy just released his debut album, Raw Deal, a combination of power-pop, new wave, and psych-rock. All eight songs play like showcases for Riedy’s hooky songwriting and immaculate bass lines. Take the New Order-meets-Strokes danceability of “Your Timeline,” or the rhythmic backbone supplied by (another music writer!) Al Shipley’s drumming on “Clockwork.” Alongside (another music writer!) Hannah Jocelyn’s pristine mix, Raw Deal is, simply put, the real deal.

Kaela – “Superliminal”

The debut album from M83 keyboardist Kaela Sinclair is nearly here. Due this May, Supraliminal sees the Texas native transpose her penchant for luxe synths into atmospheric dreamworlds. “Superliminal,” its latest single and (almost) title track, builds from its kick-and-synth-bass pulse to a gauzy break with harp-like arpeggios. At the halfway mark, her voice rises to the top of the mix, cloaked in reverb: “Super. Liminal.” Cleaving the word into two discrete halves, Sinclair issues the statement like a universal truth. As the song approaches its endpoint, everything fades away, but Sinclair’s voice remains a spectral presence, not heard so much as felt.

Coolant – “The Lack”

Colin Joyce began writing “The Lack,” the lead single of his forthcoming EP, Pest, after discovering an ML Buch guitar tuning on Reddit. Clearly, the unconventional tuning unlocked something in him. As Coolant, music critic and musician Joyce got together with Ricky Eat Acid’s Sam Ray in Florida over Christmas, and, together, they recorded four songs. “The Lack,” its opening track, draws from slowcore, drone, and post-rock to reconfigure the familiar six-string into novel, emotionally resonant shapes. Atop an undercurrent of ambient feedback, Joyce’s acoustic guitar pierces through the curtain of noise with startling clarity.

Mister Romantic – “Dream”

Who knew Wreck-It Ralph had such a beautiful voice? Dewey Cox did, apparently. John C. Reilly (yes, that one) initially showcased his pipes as the protagonist of the 2007 fictitious biopic-comedy, Walk Hard. One decade and vaudevillian stage show later, Mister Romantic, Reilly’s musical sobriquet, is putting out his debut album. What’s Not To Love? positions the prolific actor as one of the great American songwriters. That is, it’s a collection of covers adapted from the Great American Songbook. It’s a role he steps into with the captivating aplomb he’s known for in his acting career, as made evident by lead single “Dream,” a lush rendition of Johnny Mercer’s 1944 standard. Across the tracklist, Reilly chronicles his titular character’s search for love. What he finds at the end of his journey is that searching is a worthwhile endeavor in and of itself.
