Jason Aldean brought Kane Brown, Carly Pearce and over a decade of #1 hits to Summerfest in Milwaukee for his headlining performance.
With a 20+ song setlist, with songs that paid homage to his entire catalog, Jason Aldean stayed true to his tour’s “Ride All Night” motto by delivering a lengthy performance for his massive sea of fans at the outdoor amphitheater.

Milwaukee was in for a treat last night, as The Lonely Island (Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone) were joined by Bash Brother, Jose Canseco, and their “I’m On A Boat” collaborator, T-Pain for their Summerfest performance.
Currently on their first music tour, The Lonely Island’s live show is full of laughs and hits, and if you’re lucky, even a few special guests. Their act is definitely a must see for the summer.

While it wasn’t without controversy, after Lizzo tweeted about an incident between a member of her team and a security guard, Lizzo’s Summerfest performance in Milwaukee was one to remember. With well over 10,000 fans in attendance, outshining Willie Nelson’s headlining performance at the festival’s large amphitheater, Lizzo performed for one of the biggest crowds in her career.
Fans sang along from start to finish, and thankfully a powerful voice like Lizzo’s was able to be heard over the sea of screaming fans. It’s unfortunate that the night didn’t end in the best way, but Lizzo’s performance last night was beyond epic!

Bonnaroo sold out in 2019 and with great reason! With performances from names like Post Malone, Phish, Childish Gambino, Cardi B and more, there was something for everyone at The Farm.
Showing love to Tennessee being the country hub of the world, Bonnaroo also hosted great performances from some of the most exciting names in country music. At the top of that list was Maren Morris, who performed some of her biggest hits and cuts from her new album, Girl.

Perhaps the best performance of the entire 4-day weekend goes to Cardi B who put on a memorable headlining performance to close out the festival. After a rip in her sparkly suit caused he to changed into a robe to finish her performance, Cardi B’s set was full of fun times and hits!

Lionel Richie brought decades of hits to the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL last night. As part of his headlining Hello Tour, the ‘All Night Long’ singer scheduled a two night residency for the popular summer destination, and he did not disappoint.
Delivering as many jokes as he did number one records, Richie instantly poked light-hearted fun at the Chicago-area festival. “I’m told there are another 400,000 of you on the grass. This is the strangest seating arrangement I’ve ever seen in my life,” Richie joked with the crowd.
“When they said there’s another group of people somewhere else, I said ‘what kind of place is this?’ This could catch on in my neighborhood. I just play in my living room and you all sit outside and buy tickets.”
Making fans laugh at what makes Ravinia so great and unique (an outdoor festival which consists of a pavilion and extended lawn area where many fans don’t have a direct view of the artist), Lionel Richie also had us cracking up with his battles with bugs between performances, even causing one fan to toss bug repellant onto the stage, a first for Richie. But while the jokes were worth the price of admission alone, the night wouldn’t have been complete without hearing the singer’s catalog of hits.
From his classics with the Commodores, like ‘Brick House’ and ‘Easy’ (which kicked off Tuesday’s performance), to his solo hit singles like ‘All Night Long’ and ‘Hello’, there was no shortage of classic performances throughout the night. With a performance that good, one night is not enough, so thankfully Lionel Richie will bring night two to the Ravinia tonight (6/12).
