Downtown Toledo gets a double dose of candlelight tonight — and the King of Pop goes first.

Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson takes over The Summit Toledo at 6:30 p.m. tonight, Saturday, Nov. 14, with a string quartet playing MJ’s biggest hits surrounded by hundreds of candles. Then, at 8:45 p.m., the same stage hosts Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons — two of the biggest arena bands of the last 20 years, stripped down to strings and candlelight.

The Michael Jackson setlist is a greatest-hits run: “Bad,” “Rock With You,” “Human Nature,” “Billie Jean,” “Man in the Mirror,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Black or White,” “Remember the Time,” “Earth Song,” “They Don’t Really Care About Us” and, of course, “Thriller.” The Coldplay and Imagine Dragons night promises the same treatment for two of the most sing-along catalogs in modern rock.

Both shows run about 60 minutes. Doors open 45 minutes before each performance, and late entry is not allowed — so plan to arrive early. Tickets are sold only through the Fever app and website; they are not available at the door. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and light snacks and refreshments are served at a cashless retail bar. There is no on-site parking.

The Summit Toledo sits at 23 North Summit Street in downtown Toledo. Tickets for the Michael Jackson tribute start at $35.50; the Coldplay and Imagine Dragons show starts at $32.

One note: this is a tribute concert. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Michael Jackson, his heirs or his official representatives — just his music, played live, by candlelight.

If tonight is booked, the Michael Jackson tribute returns to The Summit on Jan. 8, 2027. But the double-header — MJ at 6:30, Coldplay and Imagine Dragons at 8:45 — only happens tonight.
