Hank Williams Jr. is set to return to Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, on Thursday, Aug. 13, bringing his long-running country-rock sound to one of the region’s biggest outdoor concert venues.
The performance is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., with country artists Joe Nichols and Mary Kutter joining Williams as special guests. The show has been rescheduled, and previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date, according to 313 Presents.
A Rescheduled Pine Knob Performance
The Pine Knob concert was originally announced as part of Williams’ 2026 touring plans, but the date was later moved to Aug. 13.
For fans who already purchased tickets, the change does not require buying new tickets. 313 Presents says previously purchased tickets will be honored at the rescheduled performance, while additional tickets are also available.
The timing gives Michigan country fans another chance to see one of the most recognizable names in American country music perform live.
Joe Nichols and Mary Kutter Join the Lineup
Williams will be joined by Joe Nichols, a country singer known for hits including “Brokenheartsville,” “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” and “Yeah.”
Mary Kutter is also scheduled to appear, adding another country voice to the Pine Knob lineup.
The combination gives the show a traditional country foundation while Williams’ catalog brings decades of country, Southern rock and blues influences to the stage.
Hank Williams Jr. Has Built a Six-Decade Career
Williams has spent more than six decades in the music business and has developed a career that stretches well beyond the traditional boundaries of country music.
According to 313 Presents, Williams has sold 70 million albums worldwide and has earned six RIAA-certified Platinum albums, 20 Gold-certified albums, 14 No. 1 albums and 10 No. 1 singles. His honors include ACM Entertainer of the Year, CMA Entertainer of the Year and BMI Icon recognition. He is also a Grammy winner and a member of both the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
His ability to blend country with rock and blues has remained a defining part of his live identity.
His Music Continues to Cross Genre Lines
Williams’ recent work has also demonstrated his interest in the blues and Southern rock traditions that have influenced his career.
His 2022 album, Rich White Honky Blues, was produced with Grammy-winning musician Dan Auerbach. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Current Country, Americana/Folk and Blues Albums charts, according to 313 Presents.
The album featured Williams’ interpretations of songs associated with blues legends including Robert Johnson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, R.L. Burnside and Muddy Waters.
That project reinforced the broad musical influences that have helped define Williams’ career.

The Aug. 13 concert will give fans an opportunity to see Williams perform at Pine Knob during the venue’s busy 2026 summer season.
