The Big Gig dropped some big news yesterday when they announced Kendrick Lamar will be bringing his tour to the Marcus Amphitheater on July 1 (tickets on sale April 10). But the news dump didn’t stop there. This morning our Third Ward neighbors announced a slew of headliners who will play the ground stages throughout the fest.
The list includes acts with Wisconsin ties – Field Report, Sylvan Esso, Phox – as well as national acts like The Flaming Lips, Sheryl Crow, Bastille, The New Pornographers, Aloe Blacc, and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. And, of course, “Weird Al” Yankovic.
You can see the full list here or below. And we’re crossing our fingers that the Summerfest big wigs will add a female artist or two to the current all-male Marcus lineup.
