Notes:
 “GM is thrilled to host this concert series on the Riverfront Plaza for the third year,” said Conrad Schwartz, director of asset management. “The beautiful riverfront makes the perfect backdrop to enjoy some of the best classic rock bands of our time, and we invite everyone from downtown residents and workers to suburbanites out to join us for a fantastic experience."

Admission to the concerts is free and no advance tickets are necessary. Viewing space will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and people are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets. In addition, boaters on the Detroit River are invited to anchor near the riverfront and enjoy the view of the stage from the water.

Refreshments and a variety of food concessions will be available at several locations on the plaza. Outside food, beverages or coolers will not be permitted. Additionally, pre-concert dinner options are available at the GM Renaissance Center’s delectable full service restaurants – Coach Insignia, Andiamo Riverfront, Seldom Blues, River Café, Sweet Lorraine’s and Asian Village. Special promotions will be announced soon.

Convenient parking is available for $5 per vehicle at the GM surface lot at the intersection of St. Antoine and Atwater, adjacent to the GM Renaissance Center. Valet parking is also available at the GM Ren Cen North Lobby on Jefferson Avenue.

WCSX radio personality Steve Kostan will be broadcasting live from all concerts and will interview band members and Detroit celebrities prior to each concert.
