Top 10 Concerts Coming to Michigan in July

The concert landscape in Michigan looks a little different this July as compared to recent years, with the annual Faster Horses Music Festival on hiatus.

As a matter of fact, it's a light month for country fans as a whole, with only two country representatives on our list of Michigan's Top 10 can't-miss concerts of July 2025. (Fear not country folk — things ramp up again for you in August.)

Here are our picks for the shows you shouldn't miss during this first full month of summer:

10. Kesha

Kesha co-headlines a show with Scissor Sisters at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston on July 19. It's called "The Tits Out Tour", so just know that going in. Dress accordingly?

9. Wiz Khalifa / Sean Paul

Wiz Khalifa and Sean Paul are embarking on a 15-date amphitheater tour this summer, and it includes a stop at Pine Knob on July 23. Da Baby will open the show.

8. Vince Gill

Vince Gill is widely regarded as one of the purest male voices in country music history, having won the CMA Award for Male Vocalist of the Year 5 times back in the 90s. He plays a solo show at Fox Theatre in Detroit on July 24.

7. Blues Traveler / Gin Blossoms

Two of the most unavoidable pop-rock bands of the mid-1990s descend upon Meadow Brook Amphitheatre in Rochester Hills on July 11. Blues Traveler ("Run-Around" and "Hook") and Gin Blossoms ("Found Out About You" and "Hey Jealousy") will co-headline, with Spin Doctors ("Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and "Two Princes") opening the show.

6. Weird Al Yankovic

Arguably the best to ever parody a song, "Weird Al" Yankovic brings his unique style to Pine Knob on July 2.

5. John Fogerty

A co-founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival who had a successful solo career in his own right, John Fogerty is still touring the country at the age of 80. He plays FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek on July 17.

4. Country Roads Music Festival

Colt Ford, Drew Baldridge and Restless Road are among the headliners at the inaugural Country Roads Music Festival, taking place at The Groves of Michigan in Brooklyn July 18 through 20. A slew of Michigan-based talent will also be taking the stages, including Cooper Johnson, the Jessie Campbell Band, and Madison Olivia.

3. Foreigner / Loverboy / Night Ranger

Three classic rock favorites join forces for an epic night at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant on July 26. Foreigner headlines the show, with Loverboy and Night Ranger rounding out the bill.

2. Dave Matthews Band

The Dave Matthews Band is well-known for its epic live shows — no two performances are the same. DMB hits Pine Knob July 9.

1. Def Leppard / Collective Soul

When you think of 80s rock, it doesn't get much bigger than Def Leppard. Hits like "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Animal", "Hysteria" and others solidified the band's dominance of that decade. Def Leppard plays Soaring Eagle on July 18, with openers Collective Soul.
