    Musical Memories, Michigan Roots, Metal Nights and New Music Ahead

    We kick off episode four with a new segment spotlighting the concert photographers who work regularly at Pine Knob, and their work. Our first comes from Ken Settle, recalling when Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band were joined by a special appearance from former drummer Charlie Martin, who had been paralyzed from the waist down after an automobile accident in 1977. I Prevail was formed in Oakland County, Michigan during 2013 and made its first splash with a remake of Taylor Swift's Blank Space that became a viral hit in 2014. The quintet co-headlines the Summer of Loud 2025 package on Wednesday, July 16 at Pine Knob. Things stay heavy the next night -- Thursday, July 17 -- when Pantera and Amon Amarth will be rocking Pine Knob. This is Pantera's first headline show in the metro area since 2001, and its first Pine Knob appearance since OZZFest during July of 2000. Wrapping things up, Styx will not perform at Pine Knob until August 16. But on Friday, July 18 the veteran group releases its 18th studio album, Circling From Above -- the follow-up to Crash of the Crown in 2021 and Styx's third album in eight years after taking a 12-year break from recording.

    Pine Knob Gets "Weird" and Smashing Pumpkins Pranks The Crowd

    In this third episode of our fourth season, we`re shooting wide and brining you memories from some of the performers who have played at Pine Knob over the years. Our first guest, however, is playing there on July 2nd, his first show at Pine Knob in eight years. Moving on, we had the chance to talk with Chan Kinchla from the band Blues Traveler, which is performing July 11 at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins is another fan of Pine Knob. The band has played there just twice, including a three-night stand with Lollapalooza in 1994 during which the Pumpkins pulled a fun prank on the crowd. Also sharing fond memories of Pine Knob with us is John Oates, who as part of Hall & Oates played the theater 18 times between 1977 and 2021, including several multi-night runs.
