Live Music in Southwest Florida This Week: November 5-12, 2026

Looking for live music in Southwest Florida this week? From Il Volo's arena concert in Estero to Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez at Artis-Naples, a Journey tribute and Firefall at Arts Bonita in Bonita Springs, country music at The Ranch in Fort Myers, a free youth orchestra concert, a big band under the trees at Cambier Park, and free waterfront music on Marco Island, there is a show for most tastes between November 5 and 12. I rounded up eight shows that I could verify from each venue's or event's official page, with the artist, venue, date, time, and a ticket or event link for every one.

On Thursday, November 12, CJ's on the Bay, the waterfront restaurant at the Esplanade Shoppes on Marco Island, hosts its free Live Music Thursday from 6 PM, with local musicians at the outdoor gazebo bar and the bay in the background. It is a relaxed way to close the week on the water. The island's Chamber of Commerce event page lists the details, and our Marco Island area guide covers the neighborhoods and communities around the Esplanade.

How I put this list together

I keep this roundup to live music I can confirm from the venue's or event's own pages, and I link to the official ticket or event page for every show. I include concerts, orchestra programs, tribute bands, and free outdoor sets across Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, and Marco Island. Lineups and times can shift, so it always pays to check the official page before you head out.

A note on fair housing: every venue, neighborhood, and home in Southwest Florida is open to everyone, and I am glad to help you find the place that fits you, whatever your story. If you are exploring a move here, a concert is a nice way to spend an evening in an area you might call home.
