CLARKSTON, MI - Snow is still on the ground, but we’re looking ahead to the sizzling summer concert season at Pine Knob Music Theatre. The biggest amphitheater in Michigan, formerly known as DTE Energy Music Theatre, just had its iconic name changed back permanently for this landmark season. Located at 33 Bob Seger Drive in Clarkston, Pine Knob held its first concert on June 25, 1972 with a performance by David Cassidy. It was the largest amphitheater in the country at the time. Here are all of the scheduled concerts, with many more yet to be announced, for 2022 at Pine Knob Music Theatre.

PLEASANT, MI - A battle with COVID forced Zac Brown Band to postpone their last scheduled Michigan concert in 2021 at DTE Energy Music Theatre, now known as Pine Knob again.

The Grammy-winning band will bring their “Out in the Middle Tour” to Pine Knob Music Theatre on Friday, July 29 and to Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort on Saturday, July 30. This tour will take Zac Brown Band to some of the country’s most iconic venues like Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and the Hollywood Bowl. “Performing in front of millions of fans around the world is one of the most electrifying and humbling feelings,” said Brown.

Pine Knob Music Theatre is continually ranked among the top amphitheaters in the world and is a preferred venue for many of the nation’s top touring acts. Through hosting acts ranging from rock, pop, country and contemporary, Pine Knob became a template for other outdoor venues to follow.
