The Bradley Center held a total of 17 concerts in its peak year. Already, there are 14 booked at the Forum. (We all agreed to calling it the Forum right?) Needless to say, concerts in Milwaukee this fall are going to be big.
Each Thursday morning on Radio Milwaukee, the Journal Sentinel’s Piet Levy and 88Nine’s Jordan Lee talk about the music coming into Milwaukee and the music coming out of Milwaukee on Tap’d In.
Read more and listen to the podcast below to hear us talk about the shows we're excited to see this fall.
Coming soon to the Forum
From Travis Scott to Carrie Underwood, the future of big concerts downtown is looking bright and diverse. Here's everyone playing the new stadium so far:
The Killers with Violent Femmes - September 4
Maroon 5 - September 16
Justin Timberlake - September 21
J Balvin - October 11
Metallica - October 16
Foo Fighters - October 17
Eagles - October 18
Twenty One Pilots - October 20
Fleetwood Mac - October 28
This is just for the fall and this schedule is major. There are several weekends with multiple concerts. That goes to show the improved logistics of the new arena and that the booking leadership is really making concerts a priority in the new space. And most of these shows are either sold out, close to selling out or selling very well. The Forum isn't even officially open yet, but we're excited about what it's already bringing to Milwaukee.
