Bob Seger does one last lap at The Palace

After selling out DTE Energy Music Theatre before tickets even went on sale to the general public, Bob Seger has announced a Sept. 23 concert at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. June 9 — if there are any left over after the pre-sale, that is. Members of Bob Seger’s Bullet Club fan club get a first crack at tickets beginning at 10 a.m. June 6. Earlier this month, Seger and the Silver Bullet Band announced a Sept. 9 concert at DTE Energy Music Theatre, the former Pine Knob. Tickets for the show were due to go on sale to the general public on Saturday, but all of the show’s tickets were snatched up during the pre-sale four days prior. Memberships to Seger’s Bullet Club are available through the singer’s website, bobseger.com, and begin at $15. The Palace concert — Seger’s 17th at the Auburn Hills venue — currently is the final show on the books for The Palace. A release announcing the show billed Seger’s appearance as his “last time” returning to The Palace.

The band includes original member Don Barns on lead vocals and guitar, and longtime member Danny Chauncey on guitar. Post-grunge rock band Everclear closes out the series on Aug. 18 with their 1990s hits like “Santa Monica” and “I Will Buy You A New Life.” The free shows run 7:30-10 p.m. and food and beverages are sold on site.
