The post modern neogothic spires of the
One Detroit Center were designed to blend
with the city’s Art Deco skyscrapers. Together
with the Renaissance Center, they form a
distinctive and recognizable skyline. Examples
of the Art Deco style include the Guardian
Building and Penobscot Building downtown,
as well as the Fisher Building and Cadillac
Place in the New Center area near Wayne
State University. Among the city's prominent
structures are United States' largest Fox
Theatre, the Detroit Opera House, and the
Detroit Institute of Arts.
Live music
has been a prominent feature of Detroit's
nightlife since the late 1940s, bringing
the city recognition under the nickname
'Motown'. The metropolitan area has many
nationally prominent live music venues.
Concerts hosted by Live Nation perform throughout
the Detroit area. Large concerts are held
