Orlando this week: Above & Beyond, DJ BMF at Lil' Indies and a three-way Sunday

Arena pop at the Kia Center, a 75-capacity dance night on Friday, and a Sunday split between Hard Rock Live, The Social and Will's Pub.

This week the gap between Orlando's biggest room and its smallest is about 19,925 people. On Friday the Kia Center sits quiet while Above & Beyond fill the Vanguard on Orange Avenue, and a few blocks away DJ BMF plays a room that holds 75. That spread is the story of the week.

Here's how it lays out.

Wednesday, Nov 11 — The Neighbourhood with Nessa Barrett and Noise Dept, Kia Center, 7pm, $126.25–$222.10. The first of two arena nights this week.

Friday, Nov 13 — Above & Beyond, The Vanguard, 7pm. The week's big dance night, at the 2,000-capacity room at 578 N. Orange Ave. Check the Vanguard's own page before you go, since listings disagree on when the night gets going.

Friday, Nov 13 — DJ BMF, Lil' Indies, 10pm. The opposite end of the scale: a 75-person room, a late start and nowhere to hide. If you want a dance night where you can actually see the decks, this is it.

Saturday, Nov 14 — Doja Cat with Latto, Kia Center, 7:30pm. The biggest pop show of the week.

Saturday, Nov 14 — Bryant Myers, The Vanguard, 10pm. The Vanguard's second big night, starting late.

Sunday, Nov 15 — O.A.R. with Gavin DeGraw and KT Tunstall, Hard Rock Live, 6:30pm, $84.35–$366.80. Ticketmaster bills it as the Three Decades Tour. It's a three-act bill with an early start, so plan for that.

Sunday, Nov 15 — The Faint, The Social, 7pm. Dance-punk in a 400-capacity room downtown. It's the Sunday pick if you want to sweat.

Sunday, Nov 15 — Bloodshot Bill, Will's Pub, 7pm, $21.18. He's billed as the Bloodshot Bill Trio. It's the cheapest good night of the week, at about 200 capacity.

With 31 shows on the calendar, this is a busy week, and the best of it isn't at the arena. Downtown, the Vanguard, Lil' Indies and The Social cover the range from 2,000 people to 75. Sunday has three very different rooms going at 7pm or earlier.

The gap between the week's biggest room and its smallest is about 19,925 people.

Save energy for Friday. Start at the Vanguard, and if you're still standing, end in the smallest room in town.
