Pine Knob is the venue most major touring acts play when they hit metro Detroit in summer. Outdoor amphitheater, lawn seating, the whole tradition.
Check 313 Presents for the current Pine Knob lineup and pick a weekend that lines up with a band you want to see — then base it from Royal Oak.
It's north of Royal Oak. Free parking back at the hotel afterwards beats hunting for it at midnight.
