Summerfest: Who is playing and when…
One of the most frequent requests we receive here at Consequence of Sound is to provide a day-by-day look at the lineup for this year’s edition of Summerfest. Since we were as overwhelmed as all of you with the vast amounts of bands currently scheduled to perform over the course of the 12 day Milwaukee, Wisconsin festival, set to take place between June 26 and July 6, we have come up with a more organized solution.
This new format, check it out below, should help you narrow down the days to attend. Of course, then again, you could be a true festival warrior and attend the entire thing… This new format can also be found on our Summerfest outlook page, which is also contstantly updated with all the lastest lineup confirmations and rumors.
Also don’t forget that both general admission and Marcus Amphitheater tickets are currently available.
