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.

On Friday, Mt. Joy and Michigander will take the stage at The Crofoot Festival Grounds for a socially distanced outdoor concert. The show is the first of other live music events slated for this summer, including Umphrey s Mcgee, Big Gigantic, and Andrew Mcmahon in the Wilderness.
