10:00 am - 12:30 pm Hailing from Southwest Detroit where most of the members still live, Helicon takes its roots from the hard hitting sound of the eighties and blends it with the alternative sounds of today.
11:00 am Special appearance by Theo "Gridiron" Spight to lead us in singing the Lions fight song, "Gridiron Heroes."
10:00 am - 12:30 pm Playing the North Stage for the first time, Overtime works hard and plays harder, laying down the classic rock this city was built on. These guys have paid their dues and are ready to punch the clock this Sunday like Joe Louis did Max Schmeling.

Overtime is making their debut appearance at the market
For the first time, the Eastern Market is going to have two stages of killer entertainment for your tailgating pleasures. Check out the updated 2008 market map to see exactly where the stages are located.
GRIDIRON Make your way to the South Stage in Tailgating Lot 1 of the Eastern Market at 11:00 am to see and hear the voice of the Detroit Lions fight song, Theo "Gridiron" Spight. He'll be firing-up the crowd and singing "Gridiron Heroes," so bring your cameras.
South Stage, Lot 1 Helicon will be rocking your blue and silver socks off all morning long, so paint your toenails and buff your corns, because you'll be bare foot in no time. The South Stage is located in the DetroitTailgate.com yard of Lot 1. Everyone is welcome, even you goofy cheeseheads!
North Stage, Lot 6 Overtime is bringing their classic, tested and true tailgate tunes to Lot 6. If there is a definition of beer-drinking music, this is it. Pack a few extras in the cooler.
The Eastern Market Detroit Tailgate has teamed-up with the Eastern Market Corporation (EMC) this season to provide the best tailgating experience possible. The EMC is planning some special events around the market this year, and we'll be listing them for you as soon as we know.
