Concertgoers longing for a live performance won’t be disappointed this Labor Day Weekend. Downtown Royal Oak will deliver a series of live drive-in concerts from local musicians to also support the cause. Taking place Sept. 4-7 in the festival’s traditional national stage parking lot at 6th and Main streets, The Beats Go On. . . will feature up to five shows per day with room for 50 vehicles per show. Each performance will deliver 30-minute high energy sets from two Michigan bands offering an array of themed genres.

Each ticket admits two people per vehicle and may be purchased for $30, with revenue divided between bands performing. All other concert costs are funded by the Arts, Beats & Eats Foundation. The concerts are expected to generate an additional $30,000 for musicians as well as taste of a live performance for local music fans.

Safety is a priority for both concertgoers and bands. Cars will park more than 15 feet apart, and all band members will be at least six feet apart while performing and 20 feet from those viewing performances. Masks will be required in the backstage area at all times for crew and musicians waiting to perform.
