Start your engines, rock fans — The Doobie Brothers have fired up their legendary harmonies and gravelly grooves for a brand-new summer tour, which blasted off August 4th in Detroit! The classic rock icons roared onto the stage at the Motor City’s Pine Knob Music Theatre, rolling through a powerhouse set that proved the decades have only sharpened their live edge.
The night was a deep dive into the Doobies’ expansive catalog, with crowd-pleasers like “China Grove,” “Takin’ It to the Streets,” and the evergreen singalong “Listen to the Music” igniting the crowd. Original members Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, and Michael McDonald brought that signature blend of rock-fueled soul, making it clear this is no nostalgia act — this is still very much a band on fire.
Fans also got a first glimpse of updated visuals and a newly-tweaked set list that weaves deep cuts with the radio staples we all grew up cranking. And yes, there’s already fan-shot video footage circulating, capturing the energy and full-tilt musicianship that’s always been the Doobies’ calling card.
With tour dates stretching across the U.S. all summer long, there’s plenty of time to catch this road-tested, riff-ready crew in their natural habitat — melting faces and feeding souls under the stars. Long live the road and long live The Doobie Brothers!
