Four years after releasing her fifth album, “Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land” MARINA creates a strong comeback with the release of “Princess of Power.” After the announcement of the U.S. tour, longtime fans swell with excitement, eager to welcome MARINA back to the stage after years of not touring.

Marking the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut Chroma, Cartel took Detroit back to 2005 with a front-to-back play through that had fans hanging on every note.

Peach Pit wasted no time in making their entrance unforgettable. They launched with a tongue-in-cheek cover of “War Pigs” before blending seamlessly into “Magpie,” the title track from their latest album.

Going to a show at Mahall’s in Lakewood, OH, feels like stepping back into a basement gig in the best possible way. The neon lights, exposed ceilings, patterned paint, and low-lit stage created a nostalgic backdrop for a night where fans stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the artists. Motherfolk turned the cozy room into something bigger—raw emotion, pure joy, and plenty of dancing.

On September 12, 2025, Quinn XCII turned the Michigan Lottery Amphitheater into a hometown celebration, with a crowd that felt less like strangers and more like family invited to the biggest backyard party in Sterling Heights.

Fans of all ages buzzed with anticipation, knowing they were about to see Yungblud in the flesh. The energy was palpable, a steady hum running through the room. When the crew moved a lone mic stand to the center of the stage, the roar made it clear: Detroit was ready for their favorite artist to arrive.

My Chemical Romance’s Long Live the Black Parade was the anniversary tour of the summer. The band embarked on a brief run, playing The Black Parade in its entirety, following their full album performance at last year's When We Were Young Festival.

When The Black Keys hit the stage, the energy shifted up another notch. They opened with “Thickfreakness,” “The Breaks,” and “I’ll Be Your Man,” immediately showcasing the tight, punchy blues-rock that has defined their sound for years.

On a late-summer Saturday night, the Skyline Stage at The Mann transformed into a time machine. Thousands of fans gathered under the Philly sky, ready to scream, laugh, and maybe even cry with Simple Plan. By the end of the night, one thing was clear: Philly was just a kid again.

Detroit got a full dose of dream-pop intensity when Phantogram brought their tour to The Fillmore on Sunday night. The ornate theater became a swirling storm of bass, synths, and flashing lights, and by the end of the night, it felt less like a concert and more like being pulled into the band’s own universe.

If you closed your eyes at the House of Blues on August 5th, you could almost believe you’d time-traveled to the golden era of rock — the flashlights were up, the riffs were loud, and the crowd sang every word like their lives depended on it. Dirty Honey and The Struts weren’t just playing a show; they were leading a revival.
