It's official.
The 305 was right on the ball: Mos Def will be bringing The Ecstatic Tour, along with opener Jay Electrica, to the Knight Concert Hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center on August 15.
In what will be the first performance by a major hip-hop act at the Arsht Center, the rapper / singer / actor / artist / musician is sure to bring his... um... unique free-spirited performance style.
Which begs the question: What type of performance will Mos actually give? His sets at the 2008 and 2007 Rock The Bells festivals in Miami left fans puzzled with more time dedicated to jamming to his favorite soul and reggae songs than actually performing his own hits.
Then again, he has drawn critical praise for both small venue residencies with a 4-piece band and performing arts center performances with a Frank Sinatra-esque big band in New York.
Which type of performance will we get at the Arsht Center? It's hard to predict. The Ecstatic Tour is hitting many smaller club venues in most cities, which would lead me to believe he might have his two touring DJs instead of a band... but would Mos really perform at a ritzy new concert hall without a band?
Only time will tell.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, July 25 at the Arsht Center's website, and range from $32-$59.
