MC5 Concert Tickets

Get in the spirit of blues-rock with MC5 tickets. MC5 is a rock band from Michigan widely known as one of the most influential acts of the 70s hard rock scene. Their first three albums are considered classics of the genre, and their anti-establishment attitude set the tone for a generation of punk artists that followed. Their sound combines disparate elements from blues-rock, heavy metal and psychedelia. 

MC5 was founded by Fred Smith and Wayne Kramer in the mid-60s, quickly rising to become one of the leading acts in and around their native city of Detroit. They take their name from an abbreviation of “Motor City Five,” a nod to their Detroit roots. Taking inspiration from eclectic influences such as John Coltrane, Sun Ra and Sonny Sharrock, MC5 earned critical acclaim for their sophisticated musicianship and experimental, improvisational approach. 

Through a series of celebrated performances alongside high-profile groups like Cream and Big Brother and the Holding Company, MC5 quickly rose to national attention. In many of their performances, they overshadowed the headlining act, with audiences repeatedly insisting on an encore. They remain seen as one of the most significant bands in the history of hard rock. MC5 tickets put you in front of the stage to see this powerhouse band perform live.
