About the Venue: Flagstar Strand Theatre
The historic Flagstar Strand Theatre offers an intimate and unique setting for an Everclear concert.

The beautiful interior blends modern amenities with classic art-deco details, making it one of Pontiac’s architectural gems. With its excellent acoustics and close seating, every note and lyric is bound to resonate, making it feel like you’re just feet away from the stage. Enjoy drinks from Charlene’s Theatre Bar accessible through the lobby and open before and throughout the performance.

The area is filled with street art, historic landmarks, and spots like the Pontiac Transportation Museum, which showcases the city’s rich automotive heritage.
