Pine Knob Music Theatre (formerly DTE Energy Music Theatre) is an outdoor amphitheater located in Independence Township, Michigan, approximately 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Detroit.[1] Built by the Nederlander Organization in the early 1970s,[2] it is known as "Pine Knob Music Theatre" due to its proximity to the nearby Pine Knob ski area and golf course.
Palace Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Detroit Pistons, purchased the amphitheater in 1990.[1][3] 313 Presents promotes and produces concerts at the venue, in addition to five other venues across southesast Michigan, including Little Caesars Arena, Fox Theatre, Comerica Park, Meadow Brook Amphitheatre and Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre. Annually, Pine Knob ranks among the top-selling outdoor concert venues in the world and has won dozens of awards in the industry, including Pollstar's Best Major Outdoor Concert Venue (2000), Billboard's Top Amphitheater for attendance (2011) and Pollstar's Top Amphitheater Venue Worldwide for total tickets sold (2011, 2019, 2022).[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
