| About: | Open from May through Labor Day, DTE Energy Music Theatre originally called Pine Knob is the biggest outdoor concert venue in southeastern Michigan. It's close to an hour's drive from downtown Detroit, nestled in a wooded area of northern Oakland County. With a large pavilion seating area and a hillside for lawn seating behind it, the facility attracts big crowds to see top musical acts, usually pop, rock, or country and western. Expect long lines at rest rooms and concessions and a long wait after the show to get out of the parking area. For many years Pine Knob competed with the Meadow Brook Music Festival, but now both are owned by the same company. |

Saw Rod Stewart 8/6/2008. Rod Stewart's performance was outstanding! DTE Music Theater was NOT. Traffic was altered by construction; parking was impossible taking over an hour to get INTO the lot. Fans were treated poorly by DTE employees. Had pavilion tickets and was not allowed to enter because I was not entering at the correct isle. My husband ignored rude attendant, walked in, cut across 2 rows and was in our seats in less than a minute. I followed the attendants instructions and could not get through the crowd of bag pipes, wheel chairs, and other pavilion and lawn fans. It took me another 30 minutes to get to my seat and numerous apologies to people for poking them with a pizza box I was trying to carry. Next time, Rod, PLEASE pick a different venue. Will never go back to DTE again!
This is an amazing theater. I have been here for Avril Lavigne and the Jonas Brothers.
been to over 60 functions always a good time, easy in and out. Alcohol food and beverages priced like any major venue, UNREASONABLE!
