In addition to boasting itself as the World’s Largest Music Festival, Milwaukee’s Summerfest consistently has one of the most diverse lineups in music today.
That diversity was on display today as the lakeside festival kicked off its 2018 schedule with a great selection of artists across all different genres. This was evident with our day one itinerary, as we caught performances from rapper Lil Uzi Vert, EDM star Alesso, country music’s Walker Hayes and more!

Before Chicago transitions into festival mode, with Lollapalooza and Pitchfork scheduled to takeover the Windy City in the coming months, B96 kicks off the summer by bringing some of the biggest names in music to the Allstate Arena with their annual B96 Pepsi Summer Bash.
Celebrating some of the biggest female artists in pop music today, this year’s Summer Bash saw performances from Dua Lipa, Meghan Trainor, Alessia Cara, Bebe Rexha and a huge headlining set from Halsey. And that is not to say that the guys on the lineup didn’t deliver, because Liam Payne, Why Don’t We, 5 Seconds of Summer and ‘Mine’ newcomer Bazzi all delivered for their Chicago fans in Rosemont.
Although without controversy, Eminem put on the best headlining performance of Bonnaroo 2018.
Performing his catalog of hits, as well as a few tracks from his new album, Eminem gave fans at The Farm everything they wanted and more. Eminem is truly the GOAT and he proved it at Bonnaroo this year.

The success of Halsey’s sophomore album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom continues as the ‘Bad at Love’ singer has released the new music video for the 2017 LP’s track ‘Strangers’. Assisted by Fifth Harmony’s newly solo Lauren Jauregui, ‘Strangers’ is one of the many stand out tracks on the album.
With Halsey and Jauregui battling in the ring, the new music video is a knockout.

Despite his controversial past, the rap world is morning the loss of rapper XXXTentacion, who was shot dead in Miami today. At the young age of 20, the Florida native and ‘Look At Me’ rapper was one of the most energetic performers in the entire genre.
Police confirmed XXXTentacion’s death, soon after TMZ reported that the rapper had been shot in Broward County, Florida in an apparent robbery. Deputies are asking for anyone with information to come forward.

Two legends in rock, Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers, brought their co-headlining tour to Madison, WI last night for a packed crowd at the Breese Stevens Field. Performing just a few blocks away from the city’s historic State Capitol Building, the show had an early start time (with The Doobie Brothers hitting the stage at 6:30PM), but the two groups performed their decades of hits for hours.
The Doobie Brothers kicked things off with tracks like ‘Rockin’ Down The Highway’ and ‘Dark Eyed Cajun Woman’, before their awesome encore performances of ‘China Grove’ and ‘Listen to the Music’.
That set the mood for Steely Dan who hit the stage at the outdoor venue soon after. The New York legends performed a nearly 20-song setlist, with performances of ‘Dirty Work’ and ‘Reelin’ in the Years’ as some of the night’s highlights. Needless to say, Madison had a night that it won’t soon forget.

Now without guitarist Tomo Milicevic, who announced his departure from the band just days ago, Thirty Seconds to Mars took on a “show must go on” mentality and delivered an amazing performance at Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island.
The Jared Leto-led duo may be down to just two members (including drummer Shannon Leto), but the brothers still managed to put on a full and complete performance for their Windy City fans. Complimented by a group of VIP fans side-stage and a number of moving LED walls, it was Jared Leto’s massive amounts of energy that kept the crowd rocking from the band’s opening performance of ‘Monolith’ to their closing performance of ‘Closer to the Edge’. From stage-left, stage-right, to up and down the stage’s 20-foot catwalk, Leto was everywhere.
Although 30STM performed just 13-songs, with the long tracks and Leto’s extended engagement and conversations with his fans, the night’s headlining set lasted for nearly two-hours. “What took you guys so long?”, Leto jokingly asked to those who were seeing the band live for their first time. It was a fair question too, because last night was evidence that the music veterans are pros when it comes to putting on a great show.
Throughout the night, Thirty Seconds to Mars performed a mix of songs from their catalog, with an emphasis on their new album America, which brought the band’s 2018 hit, ‘Walk On Water’, a highlight of the set. While on the surface 13-songs from a two-member band might sound like an underwhelming performance, last night was anything but that. Leto is a man of many talents, but putting on a great a show is at the top of that list.
