Earth, Wind & Fire book a Tuesday night at Pompano Beach Amphitheater

The R&B and soul institution plays the Amp on April 13, 2027, one 2,600-capacity spring night that's easy to miss if you wait.

Most bands of Earth, Wind & Fire's size come through South Florida on a weekend and in an arena. This one picked a Tuesday and a roof made of fabric. The band announced last Tuesday, Nov. 3, that it will play Pompano Beach Amphitheater on Tuesday, April 13, 2027, and that's a night worth circling now.

The basics: doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. The Amp holds 2,600 for this one, a small crowd by this band's standards. Tickets are on sale through AXS.

The Pompano date comes on top of the band's spring 2027 run. In October, JamBase reported a mostly Southeast swing from April into early May. It grew out of a co-headline slot the band already had at Tedeschi Trucks Band's Sun, Sand and Soul event in Florida. SeatGeek's rundown counted 10 shows in Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and North Carolina, and said more might be added. Pompano was announced weeks after that first batch, so add it to the list.

This is a band that keeps working. In 2026 Earth, Wind & Fire shared a North American tour with Lionel Richie. The year before, they headlined their own summer North American tour. People who caught them on those big arena bills should know that the Amp is a very different room.

That's because of the room itself. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater is a city-run, open-air venue on NE 6th Street. The stage and seats sit under a tensile fabric canopy, which keeps the shade and the open air together. That matters on a Florida evening in April. The city books concerts, movies and community events there. Its current calendar has run from Willie Nelson to Men at Work and CAKE, and an Earth, Wind & Fire booking fits that mix of headliners from deep catalogs playing in a room that feels local.

One of the great names in R&B and soul, on a weeknight, under a canopy in Pompano.

For Broward and Palm Beach fans, the weeknight and the size cut both ways. A Tuesday is easier on a babysitter than a Saturday, but a 2,600-person room for a band this well loved won't last long. Two practical notes. First, doors open 90 minutes before the music, so parking and getting in at 6 won't cut into the show. Second, the city's arts office says the Amp's box office now opens on the first Thursday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to help people avoid ticket fees. The next one falls on Dec. 3. Call ahead to confirm this show is on sale at the window before you drive over. Otherwise AXS is the way in.

If the band's spring routing holds, it will be on the road through the Southeast for a few weeks after Pompano, so this may be the only South Florida night on the run. Get your tickets early, plan on a Wednesday that starts a little late, and expect the whole lawn to be singing by the encore.
