Mark your calendars for a summer of six free classic rock concert series!!
Chevrolet's 2012 Rockin’ on the Riverfront summer concert series will transform GM Riverfront Plaza with a highly-anticipated lineup of classic rock all-stars sure to capture crowds of music fans again this season. Located in the heart of the city, between the GM Renaissance Center and Detroit River, this event has become a summer destination for dining and entertainment in Detroit.

In partnership with Detroit’s Classic Rock Station 94.7 WCSX-FM and the new Soft Rock 105.1 FM, Rockin’ on the Riverfront will amaze rock audiences with Friday night shows from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. July 13 through August 17.

Leading the line-up this year will be a stellar double bill featuring none other than John Waite and Detroit’s own Sponge. Waite is known for such enduring hits as Missing You and When I See You Smile. Sponge made a name for itself nationally with such hits as Molly and Wax Ecstatic. See both bands July 13.
