    Looks CLOSED, yet I see concert listings in sept/oct; mostly old metal bands, good area/venue for that.. Don't be stupid and aimlessly wander around this East end of Detroit. For out of towners this section of Detroit is an eye opener, plus depressing. The abandoned homes, businesses, prostitutes in the pouring rain, sad how this area sits today, bleak. Harpos has a beautiful sign, like a mirage in the distance amongst all the destruction.

    This was my first "summer" harpos experience, and sadly it will be my last. At 30$ a head you would think this place could at least spring for some fans!!!! Nope!!! I was there this past weekend for Dope, Devil Driver, and StaticX. Harpos books some GREAT shows from some of the heaviest bands putting out music! It's a bit hard to enjoy them when it's LITERALLY 103 degrees inside with ZERO air circulation. Add to that the thick smoke stench, lack of toilet paper, overflowing toilets and lack of security and the whole thing is a hot hellish mess! Walking through the metal detectors at one of their biggest events of the year from a ticket sales standpoint and person after person is setting off the metal detector! Not one request to empty pockets or secondary wanding . You could feel the heat roll out the front doors as soon as you step inside. It was suffocating! We saw ONE fan (unless you count the ones being used by the bartenders who were serving drinks in their underwear thanks to the heat) or the ones staff at the mercy table were using. When the main act stops to bitch about the heat MAYBE it's time to upgrade a few things. Unfortunately Harpos is one of the only metal venues of this capacity for miles and miles. I'm shocked bands still want to book here! I've heard the legends of the extreme heat and cold but this was my first time experiencing it.

    This is another gem in metro Detroit that I can't believe I haven't reviewed before. The Royal Oak…read moreMusic Theatre is a long-standing pillar within the community, located just a few blocks off of Main Street in downtown Royal Oak. This theatre is a great, smaller-scale theatre that will attract lower key artists and concerts than those that would come to Detroit. I would equate the Royal Oak Music Theatre to a step down from The Fillmore in Detroit, but also a step up from St. Andrew's Hall also in Detroit. The Royal Oak Music Theatre certainly has not gone through any noticeable updates throughout the years it has been in business, which seems like several several decades now. So it definitely shows signs of wear and just feels a tad outdated, but not quite rundown. But it's still such a solid venue and is in a much better, less trafficked city than Detroit that allows coming and going to and from shows here a lot less of a headache. There is tons of parking options surrounding the theatre in the parking lots throughout downtown Royal Oak and on the side street parking as well. There are also a ton of delicious restaurants and bars easily within walking distance for you to grab a bite or a drink before and after your show, along with doing some shopping as well! It's truly a delightful experience every time I come to Royal Oak Music Theatre!

As we proceeded forward I saw a security guard and said good evening and gave him a fist bump. Next thing I knew another security guard forcefully pulls me over the left. Then they had me empty my pockets go through a metal detector then, I feel unlawfully, frisked my body, pockets, etc. I have NEVER been so offended in my life. I'm 67 years old and don't need to be treated like I was tonight. Hey Guards F*ck you.

    Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.
