Summerfest full lineup
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre — save anything straight to your schedule.
Carín León
Sonora's genre-bending superstar — música mexicana with country and soul running through it, and one of the biggest voices in the hemisphere.
Cody Johnson
Texas rodeo-cowboy-turned-arena-headliner — neotraditional country sung like every night is the last night of the season.
Don Toliver
Houston's melodic-rap stylist — psychedelic AutoTune soul from the Cactus Jack camp.
Ed Sheeran
One man, one loop pedal, stadium after stadium — the biggest singer-songwriter of his generation doing it without a band.
Garth Brooks
The best-selling solo artist in American history — 'Friends in Low Places' and a live show that rewrote what a country concert could be.
Jelly Roll
Nashville's redemption story — rap-sheet honesty turned into tent-revival country-rock that fills stadiums with people who needed the message.
Megan Moroney
Emo cowgirl — Georgia songwriting with a wink, and the fastest-rising female star in country radio.
Muse
Paranoid space-opera rock at maximum scale — riffs, falsetto and conspiracy concept albums built for the biggest possible stage.
Post Malone
Genre-agnostic hitmaker — the face-tattooed everyman who moved from melodic rap to a full country turn without dropping a step.
All Time Low
Maryland pop-punk heroes — two decades of fast, funny, chorus-first anthems, and 'Dear Maria' hits different in home waters.
Amyl and the Sniffers
Amy Taylor might be the best frontperson alive right now — Aussie pub-punk voltage, all sprint and snarl, from a band that treats every stage like a title fight.
Big Daddy Kane
BØRNS
Falsetto-led glam-pop with a '70s sheen and hooks built for a car stereo — 'Electric Love' plus a catalog slicker than its one-hit reputation.
Buju Banton
Cameron Whitcomb
Backflipping former pipefitter with a howl — raw-nerve folk-country redemption songs delivered with gymnastic stage energy and zero polish where it counts.
Candlebox
Carter Faith
Dreamy neo-traditional country from a fast-rising Nashville transplant — twang with a soft-focus, retro glow.
Charlie Wilson
Christopher Cross
Common
Chicago's elder statesman of conscious rap — an Oscar, a Grammy shelf, and 'The Light' still glowing.
David Lee Roth
Van Halen's original ringmaster — high kicks, higher hair, and rock's greatest game-show-host grin.
Echo & The Bunnymen
Liverpool's grandest post-punks — 'The Killing Moon' remains the most beautiful song of its era, and Ian McCulloch will tell you so.
Elderbrook
Ella Mai
Father John Misty
Josh Tillman's lounge-lizard prophet act — gorgeous orchestration, acid wit, and a crooner's delivery that sells every barbed line.
Flipturn
Florida indie rock built for festival fields — 'August' euphoria, surging choruses, and a live energy that outruns the recordings.
Flo Rida
The hook factory of late-2000s radio — 'Low' alone soundtracked a billion parties.
Gene Simmons Band
Gin Blossoms
Goldfinger
Halestorm
Lzzy Hale's Grammy-winning powerhouse — the loudest voice in modern hard rock, delivered nightly with full-throttle sincerity.
Holly Humberstone
Bruised, cinematic alt-pop — Grantham's bedroom-to-BRIT-Award story, small-town detail sung in a fog of reverb, intimacy that scales to festival fields.
Hot Mulligan
Midwest emo's chaotic favorites — screamed choruses, absurd song titles, real feelings, and a crowd that knows every word including the yelps.
Jessie Murph
A rasp built for heartbreak, dragging country songwriting through trap drums and open-wound honesty — genre lines treated as suggestions.
KALEO
Kerry King
Kim Gordon
Sonic Youth's icon in her uncompromising solo era — trap-damaged noise and total cool, more experimental now than most bands ever manage.
Little Feat
Louis Tomlinson
One Direction's scrappiest alum — Britpop-leaning anthems and the most devoted touring fanbase in pop.
Myles Smith
Nate Smith
Noah Cyrus
Country-leaning confessional songwriting that stepped decisively out of a very long family shadow — hushed duets and high-lonesome ache.
Passion Pit
Michael Angelakos's falsetto over maximalist synth-pop — euphoric music about genuinely difficult things, 'Sleepyhead' still a serotonin spike.
Russell Dickerson
Feel-good pop-country with a preacher's-kid energy — wedding-playlist hits delivered like a headline set.
Sam Barber
Sean Paul
Dancehall's global hitman — 'Temperature' and 'Get Busy' still detonate any dancefloor on contact.
Spoon
Austin's most consistent band — two decades of taut, groove-first indie rock with zero wasted notes.
Styx
'Come Sail Away' and 'Renegade' — Chicago's prog-pop survivors still working the harmonies half a century on.
Subtronics
Riddim-dubstep heavyweight — appearing in the GRIZTRONICS b2b with GRiZ, an hour of pure bass warfare with a funk streak.
Tash Sultana
A one-person band who builds whole songs live from loops — guitar, beatbox, trumpet, all stacked in front of you.
The Academy Is...
William Beckett's Chicago pop-punk — swaggering, scarf-wearing, and sharper than the scene remembers, 'About a Girl' still gleaming.
The Beths
Auckland's harmony-stacked power-pop treasures — jazz-school chops, huge hearts, and 'Expert in a Dying Field' proof of mastery.
The Marcus King Band
The Revivalists
Third Eye Blind
Semi-charmed alt-rock perfection — a greatest-hits set with no skips, doot-doot-doots at maximum participation, Jenkins still selling every word.
Three 6 Mafia
Memphis's murk-and-menace originators, whose tape-hiss production is now the foundation of half of underground rap — Oscar winners, improbably.
Tucker Wetmore
Tyler Hubbard
Tyrese
Whiskey Myers
Wolfmother
Unapologetic '70s riff worship played with enough conviction to make the pastiche irrelevant — 'Woman' still a lightning strike.
Audrey Nuna
Sludgy, low-slung R&B where the rapping and the singing keep swapping places mid-verse — New Jersey cool with an experimentalist's disregard for genre lines.
BoDeans
Connor Price
Jonah Kagen
JP Saxe
Pepper
