Royal Oak Music Theatre Announces Two Shows

ROYAL OAK, MI —The Royal Oak Music Theatre this week announced tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday for two upcoming shows.

At 10 a.m. Friday, tickets will be available for comedian Nate Bartgatze's 9 p.m. show on Nov. 11. The show, part of Bargatze's The Raincheck Tour, was added by popular demand, the theater announced Tuesday.

Bargatze already is scheduled to perform a 6 p.m. show on Nov. 11 and at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Nov. 12. The shows are listed as 18 and over.

The theater announced that a venue presale for the 9 p.m. Nov. 11 show starts Thursday, and tickets can be purchased using the password GREATEST.

The Nashville-based Bargatze's recent Netflix special "The Greatest Average American" debuted in March, arriving a few years after his 2019 special on the network "The Tennessee Kid."

Meanwhile, Royal Oak Music Theatre announced Wednesday that country singer Mitchell Tenpenny will bring his To Us It Did Tour to Royal Oak for a 7 p.m. show on Dec. 18. The show will feature special guest Drew Green.

A venue presale started Wednesday using the password SUN. Tickets to the all ages show go on sale to the general public at noon on Friday, the theater announced.

Tenpenny's 2018 debut single "Drunk Me" was a 2X Platinum-certified No. 1 hit and has amassed nearly 490 million on-demand streams. In 2019, the Nashville native was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards.

Tenpenny's new album Midtown Diaries is scheduled to be released Sept 10, according to SoundsLikeNashville.com. The album will include the track "Truth About You," which had 2.5 million streams in the first three days after its early-August release.

For all of Bargatze's shows and Tenpenny's concert, audience members will be required to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination for entry into the theater.

Last week, concert promoter AEG Presents, which owns Royal Oak Music Theatre, announced the policy would be in effect for all of its clubs, theaters and festivals after Oct. 1.

Until Oct. 1, concert goers at AEG Presents venues also will be able to gain entry with proof of a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of show date.
