Here’s the musical line up for Arts, Beats & Eats, including Flo Rida, 311, Rob Base & more

Attendees of this year’s Arts & Beats and Eats event in downtown Royal Oak over Labor Day weekend will hear R&B, pop and rock hits from the past several decades wafting from the music stages of the four-day event. 

Announced Tuesday, the national headliner list is a male-dominated line up featuring “Low” rapper Flo Rida who will close out the fest on Labor Day, plus indie pop group Fitz and the Tantrums, alt-rockers 311, “Survivor” alum and country singer Chase Rice and Detroit’s own Sponge. 

The Jim Beam National Stage will also host hip-hop legend Rob Base, Scottish funk group Average White Band, Tommy DeCarlo of Boston and R&B singer Montell Jordan who had a massive hit in 1995 with “This is How We Do It.”

Women are better represented on the eight other entertainment stages, which host local performers, acoustic music, electronic DJs and kids programming. In all, around 200 musical acts are scheduled. 

Celebrating 25 years this summer, Arts & Beats and Eats also announced Tuesday details of the juried art show with more than 150 creatives from across the nation. The "eats," which highlight more than 50 restaurants, caterers and food trucks from the area and beyond, include Mexican, Italian and American cuisine, plus barbecue, sweet treats, healthy options and more.

The event, which drew in a reported 365,000 people in 2021 began in 1998 and has raised more than $6 million for community and nonprofit groups.
