Chicago Open Air, July 15-17
Toyota Park (Bridgeview, Ill.)
One of the few metal festivals in the
United States, this show’s lineup is amazing for any fan of hard rock and heavy
metal. The top acts will be Rammstein (in
their only U.S performance of 2016), Of
Mice and Men, Disturbed, Korn, Breaking
Benjamin, Bullet for My Valentine, Marilyn Manson, Five Finger Death Punch,
and, my favorite band of all time, Slipknot. This festival is going to be full of
great live performances and pyrotechnics
(flames, fireworks, and bright, flashing
lights). It is the inaugural year for this
festival, and it should be a big one.

Mo Pop Festival, July 23-24
West Riverfront Park (Detroit)
The lineup for this festival contains
some of the best up-and-coming artists in
the nation. The most well-known is Bay
Area-based rapper G-Eazy, who is touring after his new album “When It’s Dark
Out,” featuring well-known singles “Me,
Myself & I” and “Order More.” The festival also features Rochester native BØRNS
and his song “Electric Love.”
Relatively unknown artists -- Mac
Demarco, who sings “Salad Days,”
Shakey Graves (“Dearly Departed”), and
Raury (“Devil’s Whisper”) -- will provide
the audience with a new set of favorite
artists. Other notables are HAIM (“My
Song”), The Head and the Heart (“Lost In
My Mind”) and Father John Misty (“Chateau Lobby #4”).

“Finding Dory,” Opens June 17
A Theater Near You
Scared of the sun, but still want to
enjoy a summer activity? Well, look no
further than Disney Pixar’s new movie
“Finding Dory,” the sequel to the universally loved “Finding Nemo.” Ellen DeGeneres is back, voicing the hilarious character of Dory, a fan favorite from the first
movie. The expectations for this movie
are high due to the enormous success of
“Finding Nemo,” and I expect it to match
the quality of the original. It should be
a hilarious movie that all ages will love.
If this unpredictable Michigan weather
gives us a rainy day (or you really are
scared of the sun), I would recommend
going to check out “Finding Dory.”
