“The City is buzzing in and around Metro Detroit, and I’m thrilled to be attending some of the exclusive NFL Draft parties as an invited guest, joining a few of my professional athlete clients, local and global sports agents, and the representatives organizing these incredible events! What makes these events even more meaningful is that many also support some of the athletes’ charitable initiatives.”

1. Hour Detroit's List of Celebrations
BIG SEAN won’t ever suit up in an NFL game, but he’ll have his name called at the NFL Draft and walk across that stage for other reasons. That’s because Detroit’s own Big Sean has been announced as the league’s official headliner for the Bud Light NFL Draft Concert Series when the draft comes to the D this week, from April 25 to 27. Get there early! This event will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will be held in a standing room only.
Sean Don is set to perform ahead of round one of the NFL Draft next Thursday (April 25), when he’ll take the Draft Theater stage around 6:15 p.m. ET to warm up the thousands in the Campus Martius Park audience. The Detroit Youth Choir will hit the stage on day two (April 26), and Michigan native Bazzi will close out the concert series with a performance on Saturday night (April 27). The NFL Draft Concert Series is completely free of charge for fans, and general admission will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
