Arts, Beats & Eats — Michigan’s biggest Labor Day weekend festival and a 26-year Oakland County tradition — is set to return with a national-stage lineup headlined by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Halestorm, Russell Dickerson and Bell Biv DeVoe.

And there's a big addition for 2023: a bold, state-approved plan for onsite cannabis use and sales. It will make AB&E the first major event in Michigan, and among the first in the world, to feature a designated cannabis zone. San Francisco's Outside Lands festival in 2018 became the first U.S. music event to include a curated cannabis area. 

The Royal Oak festival, officially known as Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats & Eats Presented by Flagstar Bank, will hit downtown streets Sept. 1-4.

Organizers revealed details during a Tuesday event in Royal Oak, including the full lineup of 200-plus music acts and family entertainers on nine stages, along with dozens of participating restaurants and food vendors.

The national-stage artists lead a music schedule dominated by area performers, including AB&E staples such as the Reefermen, Polish Muslims, Sean Blackman’s In Transit, Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils, and Tino G’s Dumpster Machine.

Local acts making their AB&E debut will include eclectic singer Tosha Owens, headlining the rock stage Sept. 1.

Veteran rocker Jett, touring on the heels of her June release “Mindsets,” will headline the national stage opening night. Jett and the Blackhearts previously headlined AB&E in 2009 and 2016.

Arts, Beats & Eats introduced designated cannabis zone

New to the festival this year will be a designated cannabis zone, including sales and consumption, via metro Detroit retailer House of Dank, which signed on as an AB&E sponsor in 2021. The festival recently landed approval from the state of Michigan for the activation, which AB&E producer Jon Witz emphasized will be situated away from family attractions, food vendors and art booths.

"We will do this responsibly," Witz said during Tuesday's announcement.

The space, to be situated in an alley near Washington Avenue and Seventh Street, will include an age-verification entrance. The fully enclosed area will include ventilation fans.

Mike DiLaura, chief corporate officer at House of Dank, said he foresees such activations becoming "as ubiquitous as beer tents."

"It's inevitable that cannabis is going to be introduced into festivals more and more," he said.

"We think the future is to bring the cannabis where the people are, not bring the people to the cannabis," he said.

For the first time, Arts, Beats & Eats will offer 25,000 advance daily tickets, available for $7. On-site admission on Sept. 1 will be $12 after 5 p.m. and free before that. On the remaining three days, admission will be $12 after 3 p.m. and $10 prior to that.
