Music Hall’s $125 million expansion is a go: Detroit City Council approves bonds plan
Music Hall’s $125 million expansion project is officially moving forward following a city council vote Tuesday.
The council unanimously approved an $80 million nonprofit bonds arrangement for a seven-level, multipurpose music complex that officials say will reshape the city’s theater district and serve as gateway to Detroit’s Paradise Valley Cultural and Entertainment District.
The Music Hall expansion, which has been touted by its proponents as a celebration of Detroit’s music heritage and an embrace of its cultural future, is now set for a summer groundbreaking, with a completion target of December 2026.
The new Music Hall structure is designed by Detroit-born architect Tod Williams, whose recent projects include the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago and the renovation of Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall in New York.

Bootsy Collins gives love to Detroit as city salutes bass pioneer at Friday funk show
For Bootsy Collins, a show in Detroit isn’t just another gig. Any time the groundbreaking bassist visits the Motor City — as he’ll do Friday, Aug. 8, for a Music Hall tribute concert — he is back in his second hometown.
It was here, after all, that Bootsy and his star-shaped Space Bass rocketed into the funk-soul universe, first with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic and later with his own Bootsy’s Rubber Band, with wind-me-up hits like 1978’s “Bootzilla.”
