Summerfest

Two of the foremost members of the '80s hair-metal movement will headline the festival's biggest stage on opening night.

Gary Clark Jr., Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Joy Oladokun are month the names slated to perform on the festival's first Thursday.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers booked the most patriotic of festival dates and will play the BMO Pavilion.

Next year's festival landed a couple of hip-hop's biggest artists, who will play the amphitheater on the second Saturday.

The iconic singer-songwriter is a frequent visitor to the festival and will be back again for a headlining spot at the Amp.

The alt-rock icons have a new album poised for release and will bring that new music to Summerfest next June.

The group led by Seth and Scott Avett are always a big draw at the festival, and they'll headline the pavilion's second Thursday.

The country star booked the first Amp date for next year's festival and will headline the first Thursday.

Among the numbers Milwaukee World Festival reported Friday were attendance figures that declined from the previous year.

It's Summerfest's final day, which is enough of a reason to go. But if that's not enough, you can also catch some old-school rap and new-school Latin alternative.
