Metro Detroit – Concert Town, U.S.A.?
Two of our local venues put a lot of butts in seats this year.
DTE ranked as the top amphitheater in the country with 598,617 in attendance for 2019. It topped second place Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston (399,212) and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado (397,249).
As far as indoor arenas go, Little Caesars Arena finished second – by a lot – to the world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York by 1.7 million to 957,596 concert goers.

-Meltdown-
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
