Whatever your tastes, Arts, Beats and Eats has you covered. And we don't mean with lots of food, though there will be plenty of that. We mean with music. In its 14th year, the annual festival – moved from Pontiac to Royal Oak last year – is hosting all sorts of artists Sept. 2-5, from headliners like Panic at the Disco and Vince Gill to many local acts. Here's who you shouldn't miss:
Panic at the Disco/10:30 p.m. Sept. 2 /Michigan Lottery Stage
Boys that kiss each other and wear eye makeup – need we say more? If we had to, though, we'd tell you that Panic at the Disco, now a two-man band led by gay-in-another-life Brendon Urie (he's actually straight, as is co-member Spencer Smith), is pretty odd – which also happens to be the name of the glam-rock guys' second album, "Pretty. Odd.," a hybrid of emo, vaudeville and baroque sounds (their third and most recent, "Vice & Virtues," was released earlier this year). It's good stuff, even if they aren't gay.
Vince Gill/10:15 p.m. Sept. 4/Michigan Lottery Stage
Country music shines a little brighter with the voice of Vince Gill, one of the genre's most vital names. His ample awards and early-career hits, from "I Still Believe in You" to "The Heart Won't Lie" with Reba McEntire, prove that distinction, but his latest single – "Threaten Me With Heaven," a heartfelt beauty co-penned with wife Amy Grant – just might give him the post-millenium attention he deserves.
