Hear a free concert under the stars and welcome the New Year amidst the excitement and energy of downtown Miami. Bayfront Park’s annual FREE New Year’s bash features the Red Bull Soundclash – a live music showcase featuring a first time ever match-up between Ludacris and Mike Posner. Red Bull Soundclash is a totally unique clash of sounds, styles and creativity, where two bands don’t battle each other, but instead collaborate to create an innovative live music performance. The show features two bands with different music styles facing off on two stages positioned on opposite ends of the venue with the audience in the middle. The pre-show festivities begin at 7 p.m. and the main show starts at 9 p.m. In addition, count down to midnight with Miami’s own “Big Orange.” At the south end of the park, this New Year’s Eve icon will slowly ascend the side of the InterContinental Hotel, reaching the top at midnight in conjunction with a grand display of fireworks shot over beautiful Biscayne Bay.
