Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Lupe Play Free Detroit CityFest
Femi Kuti, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Weird Al too!
What's a huge financial concern want with a ragtag bunch of indie rockers, rappers, Afro-Beat-ers, garage bands, and, um, novelty songsmiths? No, not overdraft penalties; not this time, anyway. Comerica Incorporated has called on Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Lupe Fiasco, Thunderbirds Are Now!, Femi Kuti and the Positive Force, and many others to spruce up downtown Detroit July 4-8 for the Comerica CityFest.
The Wailers, Cheap Trick, the Detroit Cobras, Carl Craig, the Go, the High Strung, the Hentchmen, and -- wait for it-- "Weird Al" Yankovic will all rock throughout the long weekend.
All this entertainment comes to you free, courtesy of Comerica. Now you know where those bounced check fees are going.
