The name 313 Presents honors Detroit’s rich history in music and brings together the resources of two of Michigan’s most renowned entertainment businesses. By joining forces to create 313 Presents, OEI and PS&E will improve the fan experience, ensure the Detroit region continues attracting the most exciting acts in the world, and create more opportunities to support local and emerging artists.

Executives from OEI and PS&E said the joint venture will benefit concert-goers and industry professionals alike.

“Entertainment fans in our city, region and state are in for a treat, as 313 Presents will bring the world’s most dynamic, exciting and diverse acts to our variety of world-class venues,” said Chris Granger, Group President, Sports and Entertainment for Ilitch Holdings, Inc. “313 Presents will offer a simple and straightforward destination for fans to receive all of the tickets and information they need to enjoy these acts.”

“From nationally-recognized venues to industry-best operational practices, 313 Presents will provide entertainment fans and industry insiders with the very best customer experience,” said Arn Tellem, Vice Chairman for Palace Sports & Entertainment. “By working with 313 Presents, booking agents, tours and promoters will have a single source for booking venues from 4,000 to 40,000 in capacity depending on the artistic preference, career arc and popularity of the performer.”

313 Presents today launched 313Presents.com, making tickets, venue information and schedule updates across all six venues accessible in one location. The site features a streamlined, intuitive navigation and is optimized for mobile use, making it easier to connect with 313 Presents venues on smartphones.
