Pine Knob Music Theatre tallied nearly $37 million in reported ticket sales to rank as the world’s No. 1 concert amphitheater in 2022, according to year-end data released Friday by Pollstar magazine.

The 15,040-capacity Pine Knob hosted 50 shows over the summer as it marked its 50th anniversary, including big dates from artists such as Zac Brown Band, Imagine Dragons, Jason Aldean, Stevie Nicks and a homecoming twofer by Kid Rock.

The Clarkston amphitheater also topped the Pollstar chart in 2019 — the last full year of touring before the pandemic — when it was still known as DTE Energy Music Theatre. On this year’s list, Pine Knob topped L.A.'s Hollywood Bowl ($31 million) to claim the top spot.

The venue revived the old Pine Knob name this year as it launched its high-profile anniversary campaign, with United Wholesale Mortgage, Trinity Health and Ally now aboard as naming partners. The amphitheater is overseen by 313 Presents, with most shows booked by Live Nation.
