Well, it’s just about that time again. The year of 2016 continues to fly by and we are (maybe?) finally at the time of the year where cold weather is no longer a concern. A telltale sign of this particular time of year is the abundance of outdoor concerts in the metro Detroit area!

If you enjoy live music, there aren’t too many things better than seeing your favorite artists perform outdoors with a nice, calm breeze blowing through your hair and thousands of people singing along. Here is your guide:

DTE Energy Music Theatre, Clarkston
