Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band are headed back to the Motor City -- Detroit itself, in fact.

The group will bring their Face The Promise tour back home on March 13 at Joe Louis Arena -- Seger's first show there since March of 1987, although he was a special guest at Kid Rock's pair of pre-Super Bowl XL concerts there in February of 2006.

Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 17 at the box office and TicketMaster locations and via www.livenation.com. Ticket prices are TBA, but Seger's four shows in December at the Palace of Auburn Hills carried a $65 tag.

There's no word yet about more shows at Joe Louis; Seger has said that the tour has to wrap by March 15 to accommodate drummer Don Brewer's need to return to his regular band, Grand Funk Railroad.
