Michigan Central Opening Concert Lights Up Detroit’s Future

Michigan Central and Roosevelt Park’s historic rebirth speaks to and reflects the future of Detroit. The momentum is with us! It was palpable Thursday night, June 6, as Detroit’s finest lit up an exhilarating stage for a free, once-in-a-lifetime night of pure celebration. Diana Ross was as supreme and exquisite as ever, kicking off a show that also included unforgettable performances from Eminem, Big Sean, The Clark Sisters, Jack White, Slum Village, Common, Fantasia, Jelly Roll, Melissa Etheridge – and quite a few others! Joining them on stage were local icons like Barry Sanders, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Judge Greg Mathis, Jalen Rose, actor/comedian Sam Richardson and actor Taylor Lautner – to name a few.

All that talent was certainly impressive, but it wouldn’t have been complete without thousands of Detroiters from every neighborhood – especially Southwest Detroit and Corktown – throwing all their joy into it.

Kudos to executive-producers Eminem and Paul Rosenberg, and congratulations to the Ford Family for making Michigan Central once again a world class building with a deep purpose.

We celebrated the re-opening of Roosevelt Park this same time one year ago. City of Detroit Chief Operating Officer Brad Dick (then Dep. Director of General Services Department) led that incredible effort and the re-design couldn’t have been more perfect for a concert like this.

Se Ilumina el Futuro de Detroit con el Concierto de Inauguración de Michigan Central

El renacimiento histórico de Michigan Central y el parque Roosevelt reflejan el futuro de Detroit. ¡Éste es el momento! Pudo disfrutarse la noche del jueves 6 de junio, cuando los mejores de Detroit iluminaron el escenario con una experiencia de pura celebración, única en la vida y totalmente gratis. Diana Ross estuvo magnífica como siempre, iniciando un espectáculo que incluyó la presentación inolvidable de Eminem, Big Sean, The Clark Sisters, Jack White, Slum Village, Common, Fantasia, Jelly Roll, Melissa Etheridge y otros artistas famosos. También se unieron a ellos, íconos locales como Barry Sanders, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jugde Greg Mathis, Jalen Rose, el actor y comediante Sam Richardson y el actor Taylor Lautner, por nombrar algunos.

Todo ese talento fue impresionante, pero no hubiera estado completo sin los miles de habitantes de Detroit de todos los vecindarios, especialmente del suroeste de Detroit y Corktown, que inundaron con su alegría.

Felicitaciones a los productores ejecutivos Eminem y Paul Rosenberg, y felicitaciones a la familia Ford, por hacer de Michigan Central una vez más un edificio de clase mundial con un gran propósito.

Estuvimos celebrando la reapertura del Parque Roosevelt, hace exactamente un año. El director de operaciones de la ciudad de Detroit, Brad Dick (entonces director adjunto del Departamento de Servicios Generales) dirigió ese increíble esfuerzo y el rediseño no pudo haber sido mejor para un concierto como este.
