Kiss
Iconic ’80s hard rock band Kiss has commenced their End of The Road Tour, after being forced to postpone five shows when two of the band’s members contracted COVID-19. As its name implies, this concert series constitutes the band’s final performances — and local fans have one last chance to catch a show. Head to DTE Energy Music Theatre to hear hits like “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “I Was Made For Lovin’ You,” and — of course — “Detroit Rock City” live, while you still can. $40+. Oct. 15. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 33 Bob Seger Dr., Village of Clarkston; 313presents.com

Joshua Davis
Even after 20 years in the business, Traverse City folk musician Joshua Davis hasn’t slowed down. He’s been churning out an album a year, and the passion driving this impressive output is abundantly evident in his jazz and country-tinged ballads. Join him at Ann Arbor’s The Ark to hear some of his latest releases and experience the soulful vocals that earned him a finalist spot on season eight of NBC’s The Voice. $30. Oct. 16. The Ark, 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor; theark.org
Detroit Red Wings vs. Vancouver Canucks
Head to Little Caesars Arena on Saturday to see the Red Wings in their second game of the season. It’ll also be their first showdown with the Vancouver Canucks — or any Canadian team, for that matter — since COVID kept the teams on their respective sides of the border last season. The Wings, who lost both their 2019 face-offs against the team, will be seeking a long-awaited redemption. $30+. Oct. 16. Little Caesars Arena, 2645 Woodward Ave., Detroit; nhl.com

Oct. 16. Ypsilanti Performance Space, 218 N. Adams St., Ypsilanti; holybonesfestival.com
