Motors & Music

Fresh off the heels of the infamous Dirt Fest at Birch Run, the Metro Detroit area will host a new festival for the first time this year called Motors and Music. This is a festival created by the same man who brought you Dirt Fest, Matt Dalton. Taking his knowledge of festivals and what people want to do and hear, he has created a new event dedicated to music and cars, two things we love here in the Motor City.

The festival will take Place August 18 in the parking lot of the Pontiac Silverdome, which was once the play place of the Detroit Lions. This event features music from a wide array of acts including Stone Temple Pilots, Ice T and Coco, the return of Chiodos, Trick Trick, Hush, Mayer Hawthorne, The High Strung and even a DJ set by Dominic Raiola (Detroit Lions). They will also have a car show and other acts including performers from the Detroit Circus. Basically, this won’t just be a concert, but it will be a full day of drinking, eating, music, cars and fun!

The whole event kicks off at 11 a.m. and tickets are only $35 for general admission for the day. Ballers who want to have an even more intense experience can purchase VIP tickets that include a designated seat close to the stage and your own private bar to drink at with little to no lines throughout the day!
