Hip in Detroit's Picks for the Weekend: June 24-26

Friday, June 24th - Sunday, June 26th - Taco Fest @ Canterbury Village: We already told you about Taco Fest earlier this week, but we left out one important thing... in addition to delicious tacos, there will also be some great live music! There will be lots of acts paying tribute to your favorite Hispanic musicians, but there will also be performances by Laura Mendoza and Norcos y Horchata, among others. Taco Fest is taking place up I-75 at Canterbury Village. Tickets are $5 in advance or $10 at the door. Purchase your advance tickets here. 

Friday, June 24th - DuoFest @ The Sanctuary: There are a lot of great two pieces making music in Detroit and this Friday night 10 of those duos will be performing at The Sanctuary for Duo Fest! The lineup includes Bubak, Ladyship Warship, Witchfist, Dear Darkness, Orc, Ommnus, Minus 9, Bloody Butterflies, Solar Monolith, and End. The bands will be playing on two stages, so the music will keep going once it starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are only $15 and can be purchased here. This isn't the first time that a Duo Fest has happened, but this lineup is way different from Duo Fests of the past! It will definitely be a fun show to check out! 

Saturday, June 25th - LiveNoise: Live music will take over the streets of Ferndale this weekend for LiverNoise - a Rogue Porchfest. Bands will be performing live on porches of homes on Withington, Breckenridge, and Cambourne near Livernois. Some of the acts playing include Carjack, The Fruits, Ryan Allen, Ryan Dillaha & Vern, Courtney Hurley & Mike Galbraith, and more. Head to LiverNoise.com to see the full schedule. Performances will take place between 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. Admission is free, but there will be tip jars on porches.
