There are dozens, if not hundreds of songs about summertime. And rightfully so. Living in Michigan means accepting the dread that comes with six months of winter (there are songs about that, too) — but when summer arrives it's a celebration. What better way to embrace the season than taking in a concert on the grass under the stars far away from our respective seasonal depression dens?

This year's concert schedule includes everything from farewell tours featuring living legends, feel-good radio bait, country superstars, '90s nostalgia, Motown mavens, "Love Shack" residents, riverside indie-rock festivals, and legendary marijuana tokers Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg. And how could we forget the return of Detroit's prodigal son, Alice Cooper? In other words, summer in metro Detroit is sounding pretty damn good. Here are our picks for the best outdoor shows to look for this season:

Cooper’s touring show, dubbed “Ol’ Black Eyes Is Back,” will have a “very different look.” In recent years, the “School’s Out” rocker has famously used a giant prop guillotine to behead himself because, you know, rock ’n’ roll. However, when Cooper is on the road with his aptly named supergroup, Hollywood Vampires (where he and bandmates Joe Perry and big-screen pirate Johnny Depp keep cosmetic companies and leather manufacturers in business with their parade of gothic dad fashion), it’s all about original hits, covers, and intimate mic-sharing.

Your “Apocalypse Dreams” are coming true, thanks to the seventh edition of Detroit’s Mo Pop Festival. The annual weekend-long fest celebrating a wide array of independent music as well as major acts that have inspired up-and-coming artists will pop-off along Detroit’s West Riverfront Park July 27 and 28. Australian psych-pop outfit Tame Impala leads the lineup, along with the highly anticipated return of indie rock favorites Vampire Weekend. The lineup is rounded out with 20 additional acts, including Ella Mai, Kali Uchis, and Detroit native (and recent Metro Times covergirl) Lizzo. The two-day event will also feature King Princess, The Story So Far, NoName, Snail Mail, and Metro Times artist to watch Siena Liggins. Last year’s event included performances from the National, Portugal the Man. While Mo Pop prides itself on not repeating a performer or artist in its line-up, this year’s event will see the return of festival favorites like the locally sourced eats via the Food Truck Alley, a Craft Bazaar, interactive art installations, and the Mo Arcade, which features vintage video games, live DJs, and air conditioning.
