Summerfest returned for a huge 4th of July celebration after the Milwaukee festival took off a day to recharge on Monday. Getting right back into things, fans at Summerfest yesterday saw some big name performances, from moments after the gates opened until Alessia Cara closed things out at night.
Check out our Summerfest Day 6 photos below of Alessia Cara, Third Eye Blind, PVRIS, WebsterX, Saba, Joey Purp and many more.
Did Future just response to Jay-Z’s subliminals on his 4:44 opener, ‘Kill Jay Z’? Fans are saying yes as Future sent out a Snapchat that answers back to Hov.
“I don’t even know what you wouldve done. In the “future”, other n****s playin’ football with your son.” – Jay-Z on ‘Kill Jay Z’
While Jay was clearly referring to Future’s son and Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, who is now married to Future’s ex and baby-mama, Ciara, Future decided to respond with a fat stack of hundreds. Taking to Snapchat, Future holds a stack of 100 dollar bills to his ear, with the caption reading, “U ain’t got the juice like dat. MOOD.”
Fans interpreted this caption as a reference to Jay-Z’s 4:44 track, ‘The Story of O.J.’ where Jay raps “Y’all on the gram holdin’ money to your ear, there’s a disconnect, we don’t call that money over here.”
Although Future was recently listed on Jay-Z’s list of rappers who inspire him, Future wasn’t going to let Jay-Z’s diss go unanswered.
Check out Future’s Snapchat response to Jay below.

If you’re from the state of Wisconsin or a student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then as far as you’re concerned, Summerfest just topped all other music festivals when it comes to surprise guest appearances.
Joining the legendary hip-hop group, House of Pain, for their headlining set at the BMO Harris Pavilion was none other than Bucky The Badger. The UW mascot joined the Los Angeles natives on stage for their hit song, ‘Jump Around’, a track that has been embraced by the University of Wisconsin ever since the school’s memorable 31-24 victory over Drew Brees and the Purdue Boilermakers on October 10, 1998.
Ever since that day, ‘Jump Around’ was a staple for Badger football games and the campus as a whole. House of Pain has played an indirect role in a number of comeback Badger victories in the past two decades, so it was only right that Bucky join the group on stage to show them how Wisconsin likes to party.

Day 2 of Summerfest’s big 50th Anniversary couldn’t have gone better, and music fans in Milwaukee literally got the most bang for their buck, as the festival’s Big Bang fireworks was rescheduled for Thursday after a harsh storm in the area on Wednesday caused the Big Bang’s delay. Unlike other premiere music festivals throughout the country, Summerfest brings an especially diverse list of performers to Milwaukee’s lakefront every year. So to kick things off for The Early Registration’s third straight year at Summerfest, we had to catch a wide variety of acts on day two!
