Milwaukee’s concert scene has a lot going on, so we look at the shows coming up to find the ones you’ll look back on and be glad you went. Then we add them to our weekly Milwaukee Concert Picks.
This Friday at Cactus Club, brace yourself for an explosion of beats and lyrical finesse as Milwaukee’s freshest new hip-hop collective, Cronies Only, take center stage to unleash their latest EP, Pilot Project.
These local visionaries unite to exchange creativity, fuel each other's passions and hone their craft — in both music and fashion. From blazing pop-up events across Los Angeles to gracing the iconic SOB's stage in NYC, their journey resonates with raw talent and unwavering dedication.
Prepare to be wowed before the main event as the talented *aya, Toolie Tone and the enigmatic NileXNile illuminate the stage with their exceptional talents. The doors open at 8 p.m., but the real spectacle ignites at 8:45 p.m. This is an evening you won't want to miss. Ten bucks gets you in the door, and tickets are available online now.
