Question 1

When and where is the Yellowcard concert in Sterling Heights?

Accepted Answer

Yellowcard’s The Up Up Down Down Tour will stop at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights&#44; Michigan on Wednesday&#44; May 13&#44; 2026&#44; with showtime listed for 7:00 PM. The outdoor amphitheater is located in Freedom Hill County Park along Metro Parkway&#44; making it a suburban&#44; park-like setting for a big spring evening concert.

Question 2

What time do doors open, and when should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Venue and parking information indicate that general parking lots at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre usually open at 4:00 PM&#44; or about three hours before a typical 7:00 PM show&#44; with premier parking opening even earlier. Because entry lines&#44; security&#44; and walking from the lots can take time—especially when 7&#44;500+ fans are arriving—aiming to get there one to two hours before showtime helps you park&#44; tailgate if you like&#44; pass through security&#44; and find your seat or lawn spot well before Yellowcard and their tour-mates go on.

Question 3

Who is playing with Yellowcard at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre?

Accepted Answer

The Michigan date is part of The Up Up Down Down Tour&#44; which features Yellowcard joined by New Found Glory and Plain White T’s across the U.S. run. Event pages for Sterling Heights specifically list the show as “Yellowcard with New Found Glory and Plain White T’s&#44;” promising a full multi-band pop-punk and alt-rock bill rather than just a single headlining set.

Question 4

Is the Yellowcard Sterling Heights show all ages?

Accepted Answer

Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre concerts are generally open to all ages unless otherwise specified&#44; and ticket listings for Yellowcard on May 13&#44; 2026 do not advertise a special 18+ or 21+ age restriction. As usual&#44; guests who wish to purchase alcohol will need a valid government-issued photo ID&#44; and younger fans can attend with a ticket&#44; making this a suitable night out for families and longtime fans who grew up with the band.

Question 5

What is the venue like at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill?

Accepted Answer

Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre is a roughly 7&#44;000–7&#44;500-capacity outdoor venue with a combination of reserved pavilion seating and open lawn sections behind&#44; designed for seasonal concerts from late spring through early fall. For a show like Yellowcard’s tour&#44; you can expect a covered front section closest to the stage and a grassy lawn where fans bring blankets or low-profile chairs (subject to venue rules)&#44; creating a relaxed&#44; festival-style atmosphere.

Question 6

What are the bag, item, and security policies at Freedom Hill?

Accepted Answer

The amphitheater’s policies page emphasizes that only certain items are permitted and that security will check bags at entry&#44; with a list of allowed items such as blankets&#44; small lawn chairs (if permitted for that show)&#44; and limited personal items&#44; along with a list of prohibited items that typically includes weapons&#44; large umbrellas&#44; tents&#44; and outside alcohol. Guests are reminded that there is no re-admittance once you enter&#44; so you should bring everything you need for the evening while keeping your bag small and simple to speed up security.

Question 7

How does parking work at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, and is it included in the ticket price?

Accepted Answer

Parking at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre is plentiful and well-organized&#44; with general parking fees included in most concert tickets&#44; meaning you do not pay a separate standard parking charge when you arrive. In addition to general parking&#44; there are premier parking options located closer to the venue entrances that can be upgraded in advance (often until 4:00 PM on the day of show)&#44; as well as VIP parking for season members accessed via a secondary entrance on Metro Parkway.

Question 8

Is tailgating allowed before the Yellowcard show?

Accepted Answer

Freedom Hill’s parking guidelines specifically allow tailgating and barbecuing in the lots&#44; provided there are no open flames and each vehicle occupies only one space&#44; making pre-show hangouts part of the experience for many concertgoers. Alcohol is not allowed in the parking lots&#44; and there is no re-admittance once you enter the venue&#44; so if you plan to tailgate&#44; you should finish drinks before heading toward the gates and make sure your setup follows the rules (no tents&#44; awnings&#44; canopy structures&#44; or camping toilets).

Question 9

What kind of setlist and atmosphere can fans expect from Yellowcard on this tour?

Accepted Answer

The Up Up Down Down Tour is being promoted as a celebration of Yellowcard’s long career and their friendships with New Found Glory and Plain White T’s&#44; so fans can expect a set packed with classics like “Ocean Avenue&#44;” “Only One&#44;” and “Lights and Sounds&#44;” plus newer material and crowd favorites tailored to large outdoor venues. In an open-air amphitheater like Freedom Hill&#44; that usually means a high-energy show with big singalongs under the spring sky&#44; with Yellowcard’s electric violin and layered guitars carrying across the pavilion and lawn while fans stand&#44; dance&#44; or relax on blankets.

Question 10

How much do Yellowcard tickets cost in Sterling Heights, and how can I get cheap tickets?

Accepted Answer

Listings for Yellowcard at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre show multiple price tiers&#44; with lawn and upper-level seats starting around the low-$80 range at some outlets and higher-priced reserved seats closer to the stage&#44; plus VIP and package options for fans who want extra perks. To find cheaper tickets&#44; start by checking face-value options from the main ticket sellers&#44; then compare those prices with reputable resale platforms that show fee-inclusive totals so you can spot any underpriced listings for lawn or standard pavilion seats.

Question 11

What are some tips to keep the whole Sterling Heights concert night affordable?

Accepted Answer

You can keep costs down by choosing lawn tickets or upper pavilion seats instead of premium front sections&#44; taking advantage of the fact that general parking is included in your ticket&#44; and carpooling with friends so you split gas rather than paying for multiple vehicles. Bringing a picnic-style tailgate (without alcohol or prohibited items)&#44; eating before you go into the venue&#44; limiting pricey in-venue drinks and snacks&#44; and picking just one favorite piece of merch as a souvenir will help you enjoy Yellowcard&#44; New Found Glory&#44; and Plain White T’s without overspending&#44; especially when combined with early ticket purchases at lower price tiers or carefully chosen resale deals.
