Michigan’s Summer Concert Deluge: Lineups for more than 30 outdoor venues

Today, Local Spins gets Michigan music lovers ready for another summer of concert revelry, from Pine Knob to Interlochen to Meijer Gardens to Soaring Eagle Casino, Bell’s Brewery and more.

 

SCROLL DOWH FOR CONCERT SCHEDULES

The superstars are out in force this summer across Michigan: Keith Urban, Rod Stewart, Styx, Rick Springfield, the Temptations, Wynonna Judd, Trombone Shorty, The Wallflowers, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Zac Brown Band, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Creed, Buddy Guy, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Goo Goo Dolls, Alison Krauss and more.

Their tours are making Michigan stops at high-profile venues, including Pine Knob Music Theatre, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill.

But more intimate outdoor venues are making their mark, too, including Warner Vineyards in Paw Paw, Bell’s Brewery Beer Garden in Kalamazoo and Stix in Ludington.

Lineups at these venues include national acts such as Jackyl, The Bacon Brother, Badfish, The Verve Pipe, Future Ialands, Bob Mould, Railroad Earth, Drive-By Truckers, The BoDeans, .moe, The Dead South, Elephant Revival and, yes, the aforementioned Ted Nugent.

And of course, local and regional acts are taking the spotlight, too, on farm stages such as Ed Dunneback & Girls Fruit Farm, Wildwood Family Farms and Lavender Hill Farm to wineries, churches, golf courses and beaches (aka Muskegon’s The Deck).

View some of the concert schedules here, with the full listings in our “Summer Concerts @ Michigan Venues 2025” Guide.
