It’s shaping up to be a country kind of lineup for the American Family Insurance Amphitheater at Summerfest 2026, which added Cody Johnson to the roster Monday. He’ll headline the second Friday of the festival, June 26, and get opening assistance from fellow country artist Jessie Murph.
With seven of its nine slots now spoken for, the amphitheater is scheduled to host four country acts as headliners during this year’s Summerfest — five if you include the kickoff shows featuring Garth Brooks on June 16-17:
- June 18 — Megan Moroney
- June 25 — Ed Sheeran
- June 26 — Cody Johnson w/Jessie Murph
- June 27 — Post Malone w/Carter Faith
- July 2 — Muse
- July 3 — Alex Warren
- July 4 — Jelly Roll w/Tyler Hubbard
Tickets for the show with Johnson and Murph go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. this Friday, Jan. 16, online via Ticketmaster and at the amphitheater box office.
Artist bios
Cody Johnson has built a career that now boasts six successful albums, including Leather, which was named album of the year at the 2024 CMA Awards. Among his chart achievements are four RIAA Platinum-certified singles (“’Til You Can’t,” “The Painter,” “Dirt Cheap” and “I’m Gonna Love You” with Carrie Underwood), several Gold and Platinum certifications, and 10 billion global career streams.
Johnson’s industry awards and honors include recognition as a CMT Artist of The Year, four CMA Awards, two ACM Awards, the ACM Honors Spirit Award, three CMT Music Awards, and best new country artist from the iHeart Music Awards.
Jessie Murph released her debut album, That Ain’t No Man That’s the Devil, in September of 2024 and established her signature sound: raw and honest lyrics mixed with a voice that lives where soul and grit collide. The LP cracked the Top 25 on the Billboard 200, while the Platinum-certified track “Wild Ones” scored two 2024 MTV VMA nods, including Best Pop Collaboration and Best PUSH Artist.
Her sophomore album Sex Hysteria, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, is her vice-laden manifesto that trades sorrow for sensation. It’s part ‘60s pop and part early-2000s trap, creating a sound that helped her earn a nomination for new female artist of the year at the 2025 ACM Awards and favorite country song at the 2025 American Music Awards.
