Downtown

Downtown Detroit is the densest live-music zone in the metro, covering everything from stadium shows to late-night jazz. Ford Field draws the biggest touring names, while Comerica Park hosts classic rock and country acts in the summer months. Hart Plaza, a 14-acre riverside plaza, hosts major festivals including the Detroit Jazz Fest and Movement Electronic Music Festival. The Fillmore Detroit, operated by Live Nation, was built in 1925 and sits along Woodward Avenue across from Comerica Park. Its current capacity is 2,900. It has hosted iconic acts including Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts operates as a multi-venue complex: its Main Stage hosts performances from Broadway to ballet, Aretha's Jazz Cafe offers an intimate setting for jazz, spoken word, and R&B, and 3Fifty Terrace functions as a rooftop nightclub. Music Hall presents over 300 performances a year across its stages. Cliff Bell's is a jazz venue originally established in 1935. Its Art Deco interior includes mahogany leather banquettes and a vintage Steinway piano. Reopened in 2005, it hosts at least nine live jazz shows weekly. Paramita Sound operates as a record shop by day and transforms into a nightclub after dark, hosting music exchanges, local DJ sets, and open decks. The London Chop House is known for live piano.
