Matt & Kim, The Death Set, more to play Detroit's Rock City

Add another festival to your summer concert schedule: online music and culture magazine, Detour, has arranged for over 50 bands to play at four venues over a three-day weekend. They're calling it the 2008 Rock City Festival.

From June 12-14, 2008 (the very same days some of you may be hanging out at some farm in Manchester, Tenn.), Detroit’s Majestic Theatre Center and the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit will be hosting national acts like Sloan, Von Bondies, Matt & Kim and VHS or Beta . Also appearing will be the Detroit-based Death Set, Terrible Twos, Child Bite, Benny Stoofy and Deastro. For a full schedule, times and all, of everyone that will be in the Motor City that weekend, go to the Rock City Festival website .

Like pretty much every big festival these days, there are two different kinds of tickets for sale. You can buy a Single Day pass, which allows you into all of the venues on the day of your choice, or an All-Access Pass, which gets you into all of the venues on all of the days as well as the festival’s BBQ Party on Saturday afternoon in CAID’s courtyard.

A limited round of advance tickets will be for sale on the Detour website from this Friday, April 25, to next Friday. Weekend passes will be $30 and single day passes will be $20.
