Yacht Rock Detroit

After a sold-out inaugural year, Yacht Rock Detroit returns July 17–18, 2026 for its second annual waterfront music festival at Detroit’s legendary Roostertail. The two-day celebration will feature an all-star lineup of smooth rock legends, including Three Dog Night, Ambrosia, Pablo Cruise, Yacht Rock Revue, Peter Beckett, Walter Egan, Elliot Lurie, and John Ford Coley, along with special performances from regional talent and tribute favorites. Set along the banks of the Detroit River, the festival transforms the iconic Roostertail into a vibrant waterfront music destination celebrating the timeless sound of late ’70s and early ’80s soft rock.
