Pine Knob Concert Rules: What You Can And Can’t Bring

If you are heading to Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston for the 2025 concert season, it is important to know what you can take into the venue, and what you can't.

Trust me, having to hike back to your car to drop off something that’s not allowed is no fun, been there - done that.

Save yourself the aggravation by knowing what you can and cannot bring into the popular Michigan outdoor venue.

Let's start with what you can bring into Pine Knob Music Theatre,

• Bags and wallets that are smaller than 4” x 6” x 1.5. Most of us are familiar with this policy by now.
• Plastic Baby Bottles - I am guessing you must have a baby with you to bring a bottle in.
• Diaper bag, must be smaller than 16" x 16" x 8"
• Bags for medical or dietary needs
• Blankets
• Binoculars
• Sealed single-bottled water, 20 ounces or less.
• Cardboard poster tubes
• Food for religious, dietary, or medical needs.
• Headphones
• Non-metal seat cushion
• Signs and banners that are less than 11" x 17" in length. Signs and banners cannot be attached to any hard materials.
• Umbrellas with non-pointed tips. Umbrellas can only be opened in the event of a rain delay.

Now, for what you cannot bring into Pine Knob Music Theatre,

• Alcoholic beverages of any kind
• Drugs
• Marijuana
• Animals (except for approved service animals)
• Banners, signs, flags larger than 11" x 17"
• Noisemakers - airhorns, cowbells, horns, whistles, bells, kazoos.
• Coolers
• Drones
• Aerosol cans
• Laser pointers
• Outside food and beverages (other than one bottle of water) and food for medical, dietary, or religious reasons.
• Video and recording devices (tripods, Go-Pro, eyeglass video recording devices, etc.)
• Fireworks
• Skateboards

For the most part, it’s just common sense - or so we hope.

Cheers to another fantastic season at Pine Knob.
