A planned outdoor music venue in Detroit, which was set to host its first concerts this coming weekend, is no longer opening.
Plans for Riverside Station Detroit, a new socially distanced outdoor concert venue in a parking lot near the former site of Joe Louis Arena, were announced earlier this year. The site, booked by Pontiac s Crofoot Presents and made up of socially distanced pods that each accommodate between four and six people, had shows scheduled with popular jam band Umphrey s McGee and others, and was set to host indie rockers Mt. Joy this coming Friday.

Riverside Station Detroit is located along the Detroit riverfront just a few steps west of the former site of Joe Louis Arena. The outdoor pop-up venue will be socially distanced and feature contactless ordering.
A new outdoor concert venue is landing in downtown Detroit starting this spring. The socially-distanced design of the space is a reflection of how live entertainment has been reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Riverside Station Detroit will turn an empty parking lot along the downtown riverfront into an outdoor venue, complete with a stage and pod-style viewing area that allows up to six people to watch the show from their designated area.
