The Miami Beach Rock Ensemble returns to the Bandshell on Friday, January 9th, 2026, for its 54th Anniversary Concert — a tribute to legendary teacher and rock and roll pioneer Doug Burris. Since 1972, the Miami Beach Rock Ensemble has been a force in Miami’s music scene, blending raw energy, killer musicianship, and a one-of-a-kind community legacy. Year after year, the band brings together generations of performers and some of Miami’s most exciting acts for a night that feels more like a rock festival than a concert. This year’s anniversary show is stacked with powerful performances from the Miami Beach Rock Ensemble, alumni, and special guests including Vvihelm, Vivid, (Re)Vival and Mark Malend. Together, they’ll light up the Bandshell with a sound that’s bigger than the stage itself — a living tribute to Doug Burris’s vision and the culture of Miami Beach that keeps rock alive.
