Detroit Events

Originally settled by the French back in 1701, Detroit has evolved into a distinctly American city that holds the key to two of the United States’ biggest legacies – cars and music. Bearing the nicknames of both Motor City and Motown, Detroit has long been the home of the American automobile industry as well as the birth place of the rhythm and blues music that many consider to be the first uniquely American genre of music. While Motor City may not mean as much today as it used to, Detroit is still home to a number of automobile manufacturers, including Ford Motor Company, the Chrysler Group and General Motors. Berry Gordy’s Motown Records gave rise to a number of famous acts throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s, including Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye. Of course, fans of the rock band KISS know Detroit by another name, that of Detroit Rock City. No matter which type of music its residents prefer, the metropolitan area of Detroit is where 4.2 million people call home. Get your Detroit tickets from GoTickets.
