Hip-hopOrchestra

Hip-hop's orchestra-anniversary format has produced some of the best rap shows of the decade, and Ross's booming catalog is built for it — 'Hustlin'' with live strings and horns in a 1929 rococo movie palace is an event, not just a concert. The Beacon's roughly 2,800 seats make this far more intimate than his arena and festival stops. Between this and JAY-Z uptown, it's an accidental citywide celebration of landmark rap debuts.

What to expect

The full Port of Miami album with orchestral arrangements plus a career-spanning back half, in a seated theater that will spend most of the night standing. Dressed-up crowd; the Beacon's ornate interior is half the show.

Good to know
