Milwaukee’s beloved Summerfest celebrated its 55th anniversary this month, with more than 100 artists taking the stage over the course of three weekends.

Eric Church (with Elle King), the Zac Brown Band (with Marcus King) and James Taylor & His All-Star Band (with Sheryl Crow) headlined the first weekend (June 22 to 24), and the jam-packed lineup also featured performances by Noah Kahan, NLE Choppa, Tegan and Sara, Gryffin, Fitz and the Tantrums, Eric Costello and many more.

“Celebrating 55 years of live music is a true testament to this festival. Together with the City of Milwaukee, we look forward to hosting music fans from across the globe at Summerfest and delivering a world-class lineup with hundreds of artists during our nine-day run” said Milwaukee World Festival Inc. CEO Don Smiley in a statement.

The second weekend (June 29-July 1) will feature headliners Dave Matthews Band, Odesza with a Bonobo DJ set and, on the final weekend (July 6-8), Zach Bryan and Imagine Dragons with AJR will headline.
