  • Musical Memories, Michigan Roots, Metal Nights and New Music Ahead

    Musical Memories, Michigan Roots, Metal Nights and New Music Ahead
    2025/07/16
    We kick off episode four with a new segment spotlighting the concert photographers who work regularly at Pine Knob, and their work. Our first comes from Ken Settle, recalling when Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band were joined by a special appearance from former drummer Charlie Martin, who had been paralyzed from the waist down after an automobile accident in 1977. I Prevail was formed in Oakland County, Michigan during 2013 and made its first splash with a remake of Taylor Swift's Blank Space that became a viral hit in 2014. The quintet co-headlines the Summer of Loud 2025 package on Wednesday, July 16 at Pine Knob. Things stay heavy the next night -- Thursday, July 17 -- when Pantera and Amon Amarth will be rocking Pine Knob. This is Pantera's first headline show in the metro area since 2001, and its first Pine Knob appearance since OZZFest during July of 2000. Wrapping things up, Styx will not perform at Pine Knob until August 16. But on Friday, July 18 the veteran group releases its 18th studio album, Circling From Above -- the follow-up to Crash of the Crown in 2021 and Styx's third album in eight years after taking a 12-year break from recording.

    Pine Knob Gets "Weird" and Smashing Pumpkins Pranks The Crowd
    2025/07/01
    In this third episode of our fourth season, we`re shooting wide and brining you memories from some of the performers who have played at Pine Knob over the years. Our first guest, however, is playing there on July 2nd, his first show at Pine Knob in eight years. Moving on, we had the chance to talk with Chan Kinchla from the band Blues Traveler, which is performing July 11 at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins is another fan of Pine Knob. The band has played there just twice, including a three-night stand with Lollapalooza in 1994 during which the Pumpkins pulled a fun prank on the crowd. Also sharing fond memories of Pine Knob with us is John Oates, who as part of Hall & Oates played the theater 18 times between 1977 and 2021, including several multi-night runs.

    Pine Knob closes its doors for 2024
    2024/10/03
    Pine Knob finishes its 2024 season with a pair of shows on Friday and Saturday, October 4 and 5, by Michigan's own Billy Strings -- a Grammy Award-winning guitarist and Americana star who's celebrating both the arrival of a brand new album, "Highway Prayers," and the arrival his first son. Then, with Pine Knob about to close, we thought we'd offer listeners a look inside some of the backstage operations that keep the place running, during and even out of season. We talk with Elmer Straub, 313 Presents Senior Vice President for Entertainment Production and Operations, and Mike Willart, Senior Vice President of Facilities and Construction for the Detroit Pistons, about how Pine Knob closes after a busy season.

    Chats with Godsmack, Seether and Jane's Addiction wrap up September
    2024/09/26

    The Pine Knob season is nearing the end of its 2024 season, and the next to last weekend of the year will be a loud one.

    On Friday, September 27th, Korn, Spiritbox and Gojira play at 6:30 p.m.

    The next night, Saturday, September 28th, is the annual Riff Fest, which will feature Godsmack, Seether, Asking Alexandria and others.

    Jane's Addiction had to abandon the reunion tour of its original lineup because of turmoil within the band. Before all that came down, however, we spoke to drummer Stephen Perkins about the first Lollapalooza Festival during the summer of 1991, which was one of the most legendary shows in Pine Knob's 52 year history.

    Legends of rock take center stage as Staind, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top and Judas Priest get ready for their big shows
    2024/09/11

    Hard rockers Staind will be back at Pine Knob on Wednesday, September 11, for a second show there in just over a year. It will be the heavy rock quartet's seventh show at Pine Knob, and guitarist Mike Mushok tells us why Pine Knob is one of his favorite places to play.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top are continuing their Shaper Dressed Simple Man tour, which the two classic rock acts launched last year and are bringing back to Pine Knob for another stop on Friday, Sept. 13.

    Judas Priest isn't playing at Pine Knob this time, though -- it's at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheater on Tuesday, Sept. 17 -- but the British heavy metal group has its own history at Pine Knob, including an Ozzfest appearance during 2004. Frontman Rob Halford is another who has nothing but good things to say about Pine Knob.

    Alice Cooper wants to be "Elected!" and a look inside the business of concert merchandise
    2024/08/29

    We're nearing the end of August, but there's still plenty of music coming to Pine Knob -- nearly a dozen shows, in fact, making for one of the busiest post-Labor Day weekend seasons ever.

    Coming this Friday, Aug. 30, is Alice Cooper, the Detroit-born, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shock rocker on his tour with Rob Zombie. We can expect more of the same joyfully macabre entertainment his time, too -- but with a twist.

    Then, a look inside the business of concert merchandise with Bill Blackwell of Blackbird Vending in the latest episode of "Hello, Pine Knob!"
