EVAN GIIA will get the party started when she takes the stage at 6:15 p.m. before electronic music sensation GRYFFIN rocks the Saturday night crowd in the Motor City.

Tickets for the Saturday night concerts start at just $25, and registration is open now for an exclusive pre-sale opportunity.

Japanese American DJ and producer GRYFFIN will put the exclamation point on an action-packed Saturday in the Motor City with his performance at approximately 8:15 p.m. on the Entertainment Stage presented by Priority.

Hot off the heels of his third studio album, “PULSE,” GRYFFIN has ascended as a significant figure in the electronic music scene.

GRYFFIN

A classically trained multi-instrumentalist, GRYFFIN’s journey began with a foundation in classical piano and guitar, enabling him to create music with profound depth and resonance.

GRYFFIN first gained attention in 2015 with remixes of hits like Maroon 5’s “Animals” and Tove Lo’s “Talking Body.”

His debut singles “Heading Home” and “Whole Heart” in 2016 led to 15 consecutive Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart hits.

His debut album, Gravity, topped Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart in 2019. It featured platinum hits like “Tie Me Down” with Elley Duhé.

GRYFFIN’s second album, “Alive” (2022), showcased his versatility with collaborations with OneRepublic and MØ.

He is also known for his hit song “Feel Good” with Illenium, which he performed in front of a packed house in Cadillac Square during the 2024 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear.

GRYFFIN’s latest project, “PULSE,” includes major collaborations with Rita Ora and Armin van Buuren, solidifying his status in electronic dance music.

In the fall of 2024, he expanded his live performances with North American headline shows, appearances at major festivals like the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), and a renewed residency at Wynn Nightlife in Las Vegas.

Before GRYFFIN’s performance, EVAN GIIA will captivate fans on the Cadillac Square Entertainment Stage presented by Priority.

The Brooklyn-based artist is making waves in the electronic-pop scene with her unique voice, honed from a classical opera background.

Her debut album, “STAMINA,” released in 2024, blends uplifting anthems with energetic workout tunes, all featuring her signature sound.

A Berklee College of Music graduate, EVAN GIIA has wowed audiences at major festivals like Coachella, EDC, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo.

She has performed on the same stages as EDM powerhouses, including ODESZA, Illenium, Dillon Francis, Louis The Child, and Alison Wonderland. With hits like “WESTWORLD” and the chart-topping “Don’t Let Me Let Go,” EVAN GIIA continues to push the boundaries of electronic pop with her catchy hooks and electrifying performances.

The Saturday night performances will mark the third consecutive year that the Grand Prix has featured some of electronic music’s premiere performers as part of the event’s downtown concert series.

The concerts will follow a full day of Grand Prix action on track featuring the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and INDY NXT by Firestone. Highlighting the “Sports Car Saturday” lineup is the Chevrolet Sports Car Classic race featuring the GTP and GTD PRO classes of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at 3:30 p.m. ET live on Peacock.

General admission tickets for the Saturday night concerts will be available for just $25.

A limited supply of tickets for the exclusive VIP concert viewing area will also be available for $50 per pass.

Fans can also purchase a Grand Prix Saturday Racing/Concert Package for $60 per person, which includes a ticket to access any of the four Rooftop Deck viewing locations around the Grand Prix street circuit and a general admission concert ticket.
