IT'S CAN'T MISS -- CLASSIC ROCK, R&B, POP AND MAYHEM!

From DTE Energy Music Theatre to Meadowbrook Music Festival, and from Chicago to Rob Zombie, the weekend promises can't miss shows from your favorite bands.

Chicago has toured every year since they formed in 1967 and this summer is no exceptions. They're bringing their legendary horn section back to DTE Energy Music Theatre on July 25 at 7:30 p.m.

Grammy Award-winning, Chicago is still topping charts with their multi-platinum two-disc bestseller released in March -- The Very Best Of Chicago, Only The Beginning. It reached #1 on Billboard magazine's Catalog and Digital Catalog charts.

And, if you couldn't make it to the Essence Festival in New Orleans in July, the Bounce TV Summer Music Festival is starring Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, The Isley Brothers featuring Ronald and Ernie Isley and Kem at DTE Energy Music Theatre on July 26 at 7 p.m.

Making hits since 1977, you can expect to hear all your Maze favorites, from “Before I Let Go” to “Golden Time of Day,” “Joy and Pain,” “Southern Girl” and “Happy Feelings.”

From their gospel and rock-and-roll beginnings to their seminal R&B classics, Ronald and Ernie Isley continue the legacy of the Isley Brothers on tour this summer. Their hits – “For the Love of You,” “Between the Sheets,” “Who’s That Lady” and “Summer Breeze” – are bound to draw you in at DTE.
