About the Detroit map

Detroit’s nights on one map. Club nights, concerts and festivals, poster by poster, in the city that gave the world techno and Motown. Open a poster for the lineup, the start time and the price where the listing gives them, and a link to tickets. Tonight first; the rest of the week is a tap away.

How the Detroit map works

  • Posters sit where the show is; when a room has several shows in one night they stack, and you page through them.
  • Filter the night to festivals, or by genre once enough of it is tagged; techno and house sit under Electronic.
  • Some listings stay in the list without a pin, usually because we haven’t placed their venue yet. They’re still part of the night: open the list.
  • To save shows to your Queue or rank the nights you went to, there’s the enc0re app for iPhone.

Where Detroit goes out

Detroit’s nights are spread out, and the drive between them is part of the deal. Downtown and Midtown hold the grand old theatres, the concert halls and the arena and stadium shows. Corktown, just west, has bars and small rooms, while Eastern Market’s warehouses and the industrial edges of the city have long been home to club nights and after-hours parties. Hamtramck, a small city almost entirely surrounded by Detroit, packs bars with live music into a few blocks, and north of the city line, up Woodward, Ferndale and Royal Oak add rooms of their own. Southwest Detroit brings Latin music to the mix.

Getting around at night

  • Plan on a car or a rideshare. Transit is thin late at night, and a cross-town trip takes longer than it looks on the map.
  • Bars stop serving at 2 AM, but club nights and after-hours parties can keep going well past that.
  • Game nights and big shows Downtown fill the streets and the parking: leave extra time.

Questions

Is the map free?

Yes. Tonight and the next six nights, in your browser, with no account.

What’s on it?

Concerts, DJ and club nights, and festivals with live music. It isn’t a complete record of the city, and in Detroit a good share of listings still sit in the list without a pin.

Why is there no start time on some shows?

The map shows a time only when the listing gives a real one; plenty of club nights don’t.

Does it use my location?

Only once you allow it (by tapping “Use my location”, or on an earlier visit), and only inside your browser: your coordinates never leave it. Otherwise the map goes by the last city you opened, or a rough guess from your connection.
