This is the first Mo Pop festival since 2019 and expectations are high for what should be an incredible experience for Metro Detroiters and the local concert community.
The show’s headliner is Detroit icon and legendary rapper Big Sean (Detroit 2), who last performed in Detroit at the traditional Lions Thanksgiving football game before a captivating crowd.
He’s also headlining this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago and will be performing in Detroit immediately after (July 31; 9:45 PM). R&B artist and Big Sean Contemporary/partner Jhene Aiko (chilombo) who recently announced her pregnancy will perform for his set (July 31, 7:40 PM).
Other big names at this year’s festival include the eclectic Glass Animals (dreamland) whose brand of psychedelic pop should be a welcome addition to the festival (July 30, 9:45 PM) and Khruangbin (Texas sun) whose new single was recently released Savannah (July 31, 8:40 PM).
