-
Magdalena Bay — Supporting Hayley Williams | Saturday, September 19
Magdalena Bay rank among the most talked-about acts in indie pop right now. Their special-guest slot on The Hayley Williams Show at Pine Knob on September 19 puts them in front of roughly 15,000 fans in a single night. The bill also features Rico Nasty, and $1 from every ticket sold in North America benefits REVERB and Support+Feed. OnesToWatch has followed Magdalena Bay’s rise closely, and this kind of high-profile support slot often precedes a full headline run.
-
Logic — Co-Headlining The Endless Summer Tour Part II | Wednesday, September 23
Logic and G-Eazy reunite on the road for their first co-headlining run since the sold-out 2016 Endless Summer Tour. The September 23 Pine Knob stop lands early in the 23-city North American itinerary, with Juicy J appearing as a special guest on select dates. Logic’s catalog, anchored by “1-800-273-8255” and “Sucker for Pain,” now includes the recent album Ultra 85 and his film Paradise Records, which premiered at Tribeca. OnesToWatch covered Logic during his ascent, and his return to amphitheater stages underscores how sustained output keeps catalog artists in demand.
-
Willow Avalon — Supporting Brooks & Dunn | Thursday, September 24
The Neon Moon Tour 2026 brings Country Music Hall of Famers Brooks & Dunn to Pine Knob on September 24, with Willow Avalon in the support slot. Brooks & Dunn have charted 51 singles on the Billboard country charts, including 20 Hot Country Songs number ones. Their set leans on staples such as “Neon Moon,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” and “Ain’t Nothing ’Bout You.” Willow Avalon’s appearance on this bill offers early-career amphitheater exposure that OnesToWatch consistently identifies as a key inflection point.
-
Majid Jordan — Supporting Bryson Tiller | Saturday, September 26
Majid Jordan join select North American dates of Bryson Tiller’s 61-date Neo Trapsoul Tour. The duo signed with Drake’s OVO Sound in August 2013. As featured artists on Drake’s 2013 single “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” they reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. Their catalog spans Majid Jordan (2016), The Space Between (2017), Wildest Dreams (2021), and Good People (2023). The September 26 Pine Knob show offers a rare chance to see their atmospheric R&B in a large outdoor setting, a sound OnesToWatch has long highlighted for its staying power.
-
Jack White | Saturday, July 25
Jack White’s 2026 headline tour includes a rare Oakland County stop at Pine Knob, marking his debut at the venue. Support comes from John Brannon’s Easy Action and Dearborn band Prostitute on the main stage, with TY and Dori Detroit on a Third Man Records curated stage.

What The 2026 Lineup Reveals About Live Music Trends
Pine Knob’s 2026 calendar illustrates how catalog strength and genre range now shape large-venue programming. Anniversary tours such as Bryson Tiller revisiting T R A P S O U L at 10 years and Logic and G-Eazy reviving their 2016 Endless Summer pairing show how audiences respond to familiar eras as strongly as to new releases.
The season also stretches from BABYMETAL’s metal-pop spectacle to Willie Nelson’s Outlaw country festival, with hip-hop, pop, and country-pop in between. That spread reflects an amphitheater audience that extends well beyond the classic rock base that once defined many outdoor sheds.
The placement of emerging artists in support roles, including Magdalena Bay, Willow Avalon, and Majid Jordan, highlights a key structural reality that OnesToWatch tracks closely. A support slot at a 15,000-capacity venue often marks the moment when the next wave of headliners first connects with a mass audience. OnesToWatch has covered more than 850 artists over the past decade, with roughly 1% reaching arena level, and many of those stories begin with this kind of high-visibility opening set.
