Everyone knows how incredible Summerfest is. After all, it is recognized as “The World’s Largest Music Festival”. But did you know that there are other festivals – jammed packed with awesome live music, might I add – happening right here in Milwaukee? This week, Piet Levy and I discuss our top-picks for Summerfest’s opening day, as well as other festivals to check out in the upcoming weeks.
Every Thursday morning, Jordan Lee and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Piet Levy talk music events and concerts, local and national. Sometimes their discussion is about music news or music venues. Tap’d In airs every Thursday morning. It also lives online. Forever. See below for Tap’d In audio.
See below for festival dates.
Some of our top picks include Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Whitney, and of course Willy Nelson as part of the Outlaw Music Festival, a subset of Summerfest itself. In addition to these national acts, not-to-miss Milwaukee bands such as NO/NO, Faux Fiction, Lex Allen, and Vinyl Theater will be taking the stage and proudly representing the city we call home.
