Diana Ross, Eminem, Jack White & More Set for Concert to Celebrate Reopening of Michigan Central

The  anticipated reopening of Michigan Central Station is just around the corner, following a six-year restoration by Ford Motor Company, and Detroit‘s biggest stars are coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime concert to celebrate.

The event, Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central, is executive produced by Eminem and Paul Rosenberg and will feature performances by Michigan natives Diana Ross, Eminem, Big Sean, Illa J, Jack White, Kierra Sheard, Theo Parrish, Slum Village, the Clark Sisters, Sky Jetta and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. They will be joined by presenters Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders and players Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown, as well as Judge Greg Mathis, Loni Love, Sam Richardson and Taylor Lautner. Other performers include Common, Fantasia, Melissa Etheridge and Jelly Roll, along with presenters Mike Epps and Sophia Bush.

The Station first opened in 1913, as was one of the grandest and tallest train depots in the United States. However, The Station closed in 1988 as travel preferences and technology changed, and remained vacant until Ford’s acquisition of the property in 2018. Since then, the company has been working to restore The Station and retrofit it with modern technological infrastructure to support its next chapter.

“We wanted to celebrate the reopening of Michigan Central Station in style and make it a night to remember for Detroiters and people watching around the world,” said Bill Ford,. “I am honored and grateful that so many of Detroit’s musical legends, sports heroes, artists and innovators are joining us to celebrate the city we all love and the bright future we are creating together.”

The sold out Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central event will stream live exclusively on Peacock on June 6 at 8:30 p.m. ET. Additionally, NBC will air a one-hour primetime special on June 9 starting at 7 p.m. ET/PT. The concert will also stream locally on Local 4+ and ClickOnDetroit.com.
