It may not attract as many heavy-hitters as the Super Bowl, but the NCAA Final Four will still have its fine share of talent coming to perform amid the basketball excitement in Detroit this weekend.

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, Gavin DeGraw and the Pussycat Dolls will be among the headliners for The Big Dance, a three-day concert series in the Motor City April 3-5.

Pop singer Jesse McCartney is the headliner at the AT&T Block Party Friday, in an event at the Detroit Riverfront that also includes stages for local bands all three days.

The Pussycat Dolls, Keith Sweat and DeGraw will highlight the festival Saturday. Also on the main stage will be cheer squads for an event dubbed the World's Largest Pep Rally.

The Big Dance celebration wraps up Sunday with My Coke Fest, an event emceed by "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest and topped with a performance by Fergie.

Other headliners Sunday include Staind, Gym Class Heroes, Parachute and Diddy protégé Janelle Monáe. And, the NCAA added that there will be surprise guests.

The Big Dance won't be the only party place for Final Four attendees. CBS is sponsoring a free show at the Fillmore Detroit featuring legendary singer Joe Cocker and rock band Train.

Parties around the city during the weekend will include the official Playboy Energy Special Final Four Party. The bash will be hosted by 2006 Playmate of the Year Kara Monaco and five of her Playmate friends Saturday at Detroit's South Beach Night Club.
