It’s not all country music and Americana round here. We like to rock out a little too, and get all smooth and funky now and then. So this year’s Summerfest has the perfect line-up for us.
Headliners include Justin Bieber, Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Wu-Tang Clan, Backstreet Boys, Willow, The Black Crowes, Rod Stewart, Charli XCX, Steve Miller Band and Violent Femmes.
We know that’s probably not why you’re here though, so joining them will be Holler regulars like Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, Gabby Barrett, Russell Dickerson, Jason Isbell, Dustin Lynch, Son Volt, Niko Moon, Priscilla Block, Rhett Atkins, Ryan Hurd, and Erin Kinsey.
Officially billed in the Guinness Book of World Records as The World's Largest Music Festival, this lakeside festival takes place over 11 days each year on the shores of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Nearly 900,000 people attend to watch more than 800 bands perform on 11 stages.
