Detroit will get a double dose of Kid Rock this summer.

The homegrown rocker is rolling out a second show at Comerica Park, this one on July 18 with openers Alice in Chains and Cypress Hill.

The announcement follows last month’s half-hour sellout of tickets to his July 17 Comerica Park date, his first-ever local stadium concert.

Tickets for the July 18 concert are $69.50, $46.50 and $30, and will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 9 via Tickets.com (not Ticketmaster) and at the Comerica Park box office. A phone-charge option is also available: 866-668-4437.

As with the first show, Rock will offer a six-ticket package of upper deck seats for $99.

Embracing his role as Detroit’s chief party host, Rock is expanding the festivities to include street activities outside Comerica Park both days, with chili cook-offs, auto exhibitions and a local-band stage.

Fans have been clamoring for a second Kid Rock show since tickets for the first time sold out in 27 minutes. At the Web site of rock station WRIF-FM, more than 500 fans signed a petition this week asking for another Kid Rock concert.
