Michigan Lottery Arts, Beats & Eats Announces Lineup

The 2025 Michigan Lottery Arts, Beats & Eats festival in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan, will take place over Labor Day weekend from August 29 to September 1, featuring more than 200 performances across 10 stages. Headliners include Sugar Ray, Neon Trees, Highly Suspect, Hoobastank, Randy Houser, and Vanilla Ice, with additional acts from the I Love the '90s Tour (Vanilla Ice, Rob Base, Young MC, C&C Music Factory) and tribute bands. The Motown Museum’s Hitsville Next performers and a new local singing competition, Star Maker Showdown, will also be featured. Over 50 food vendors, including newcomers like Jinya Ramen and Dump Truck, will serve a diverse range of cuisine. Admission ranges from $7 in advance to $12 at the gate, with free entry available before certain times. With the Michigan Lottery as the new title sponsor following the exit of Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort, organizers expect hundreds of thousands of visitors despite a slight reduction in the national music budget.
