REBORN TO RAISE HELL

Former Blondies owner brings back Harpos.

Two legends, one roof: Expect changes at Harpos Concert Theatre, as the former owner of Blondies takes over, and breathes new life into the historic Harper Avenue spot.

Everyone knows Harpos, whether they caught a show by Iron Maiden, Megadeth, or other big metal acts there in the '80s, or just drive by the place on I-94. It's an iconic landmark of Detroit’s music scene. Unfortunately, the club has earned a bad rap in recent years thanks to an inconsistent sound system, sticky floors, and nasty bathrooms — not to mention past violence near the theatre, and some not-so-great rumors about management. But now, after years on the market, that’s all about to change.
