Every morning throughout Summerfest 2025, we’ll deliver a guide that covers the day’s entertainment and how you can get in the gate free of charge. This is where you’ll find info about the AmFam Amp headliners, eclectic picks from our knowledgeable staff and the music lineup for the day (see the full 2025 Summerfest lineup here).
Today at the AmFam Amp + Radio Milwaukee staff pick #1
Hozier, Gigi Perez, 7:30 p.m.
Gigi Perez has been steadily carving out her place in the music world, and her rise has become impossible to overlook. Following a standout Studio Milwaukee session in 2024 and a well-received performance at Vivarium, she captured attention globally when her single, “Sailor Song,” soared to number one on the U.K. charts just a few weeks after her Milwaukee show.
Since then, Perez has graduated to larger venues — like a certain American Family Insurance Amphitheater — as she opens for Hozier, an unmistakable sign of her growing recognition in the industry. We’ve been lucky enough to join her ride from intimate performances to massive audiences, so don’t miss your chance to catch her live at 7:30 p.m. on Summerfest’s biggest stage.

Radio Milwaukee staff pick #2
Snow Wife @ Aurora Pavilion, 5:45 p.m.
Some people are allergic to milk. Some people are allergic to peanuts. Some people, like me, are allergic to boredom, which is why I’ll be seeing Snow Wife at Summerfest. Originally from Houston, her hyperpop sound and unapologetic personality bleed L.A. energy, and if her show matches the quick choreography in her music videos, standing still won’t be an option.
Some may be quick to dismiss her because she’s been in the game for just two years, but trust me: Her set will make you sweat — and not just because of the summer temperatures. Gather under the roof of the Aurora Pavilion at 5:45 p.m. for this one.
