Ahead of its huge 50th Anniversary, Milwaukee’s Summerfest has shared the headliners for it’s popular Miller Lite Oasis stage. Drawing thousands every night of the festival, the Miller Lite Oasis usually host the most popular acts of the festival’s ground stage headliners on any given night.
This year, major recording artists like Alessia Cara, Bleachers, Flume, Steve Aoki, Jon Bellion, DNCE, Kyle, Walk The Moon, Brett Eldredge and many more will hit the stage at the Miller Lite Oasis. As you can tell from the above, Summerfest’s lineup in 2017 is one of the best in years!
Check out the Miller Lite Oasis’ Summerfest headliners below, and fans can check out Summerfest’s full lineup of headliners here.
Kicking off on July 8th at Chicago’s Hunting Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, the Gorillaz will embark on their first North American tour in over half a decade. The Gorillaz are on the verge of the release of their new album, after surprising fans with the news of its release, so the band will have a lot of new material to perform come this summer. The tour is currently scheduled to make stops in Detroit, Toronto, Los Angeles, Atlanta and more, until their first tour in seven years concludes in Miami through the middle of October.
Tickets for most dates on the tour will go on sale April 21st, and all tickets will include a copy of the Gorillaz’ new LP (either physical or digital), with the exception of some date. You shouldn’t miss out on either the new tour or the new CD, so you have no excuse to miss out!

Last night Lil Wayne brought his Kloser 2 U Tour with GOOD Music’s Cyhi The Prynce to a packed house at the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. While the night had its highs and lows, the night certainly got off to an amazing start with Cyhi’s supporting performance, but Lil Wayne’s shortened set (although great while it lasted) left his college fans wanting more.
Up first for the night was Kanye West’s GOOD Music artist and writer, the Grammy-nominated Cyhi The Prynce. The Stone Mountain native instantly got the crowd energized, showcasing his untouchable lyrics and amazing wordplay. Cyhi opened his set with some of his tracks like ‘No Dope’ and ‘Legend’, but it was his melody of GOOD Music features (mostly from the label’s Cruel Summer LP) that got the night started on a high note.
Fans rapped along as Cyhi spit his memorable verses from ‘So Appalled’ and ‘Sin City’, before Cyhi closed his set with 2017 single, ‘Nu Africa’. While Cyhi The Prynce came into the scene with his show-stealing guest verses, it’s his new solo records that will help him rise in the ranks of rap. Cyhi The Prynce definitely picked up some new fans in Madison tonight.
After a brief intermission, as crew set up for the night’s headlining performance, it was time for Lil Wayne to hit the stage. As Weezy emerged in his custom Brett Favre jersey, the Young Money MC could have started his set off in a better way. The Packer fans throughout the crowd screamed, as Wayne performed hit track after hit track.
Lil Wayne’s performance began to lose momentum though as he brought a number of guest performers onto the stage. While many of Wayne’s Young Money rappers were pleasant surprises, fans would soon learn that these emerging artists were taking time from Wayne’s set. After Lil Wayne dedicated about 15 minutes of his performance to guest performers, the rap legend only performed a few more songs before saying his goodbyes. Wayne’s performance was memorable and energetic while it lasted; however it only lasted for about 40 minutes. When it was clear that Wayne would not return for an encore, some (of the more drunk) fans began to throw their drinks at the falling curtain.
Twice during his performance Lil Wayne detailed three things to the crowd. 1. We all are nothing without the man upstairs. 2. Wayne is nothing without his fans. And 3. (again) he is nothing without his fans. However many of his fans last night were left scratching their heads, wondering if number 2 and 3 are nothing more than lip service after the short headlining performance.

While it originally appeared as if Harry Styles was late to the party, when it came to One Direction members releasing their solo music, Harry has gained a ton of momentum this month. Not only did Styles release his debut single, ‘Sign of the Times’, which is already getting a lot of praise and love on the radio, but Styles has also announced the title and release date of his debut LP.
Fans will not have to wait much longer, as the former face of the mega-successful pop band will release his self-titled debut album, Harry Styles, on May 12th, via Columbia Records. The singer also shared the 10-song tracklist for the upcoming LP.
Listen to Harry Styles’ debut single, ‘Sign of the Times’ below.
Moments ago, Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter John Mayer brought his The Search For Everything Tour to a packed United Center in Chicago, IL. Performing for a diverse audience, mixed with fans who either lust over his smooth vocals and good looks or those who can’t help but applaud Mayer’s remarkable skills on the blues guitar (or perhaps all of the above), Mayer brought in everyone tonight.
And almost as diverse as his fan base tonight was his setlist and performance. Mayer’s Search For Everything Tour, which is named after his seventh LP (due out on Friday), is comprised of three different parts, separated by several different chapters. Mayer not only performs with a full band for a third of his set, after a couple brief set changes, John returns for a solo acoustic set and a John Mayer Trio set to cap off the night.
If there was anything to critique about tonight’s performance, it’s that Mayer kept fans wanting more and taking time for the crew to set up between the portions of the show delayed the energy of the crowd. While Mayer performed a large setlist of 20+ tracks, splitting the night into several portions (including an encore) made the performance appear shorter than it actually was. But with seven albums to perform, including some covers (like an awesome cover of Tom Petty’s ‘Free Fallin’), Mayer was able to deliver a little bit of everything to Chicago, even with a huge catalog.
If you weren’t in attendance, you certainly missed out, however lucky for you John Mayer will return to Chicago as part of Dead & Company on June 30th and July 1st, and again on September 2nd as his Search For Everything Tour returns to the area for a second night.

Off his debut album Daymares, Milwaukee rapper WebsterX has dropped his newest music video, for his Four Giants produced track ‘Blue Streak’.
Again teaming up with directors Cody LaPlant and Damien Blue, the Closed Sessions MC continues to prove that he can put together some of the best visuals to complement his singles, among all other rappers out. If WebsterX isn’t on your radar by now, he definitely should be.
Watch WebsterX’s new music video for ‘Blue Streak’ below.
Frank Ocean surprised fans with his new track ‘Biking’ this past weekend. Recruiting longtime friend and collaborator, Odd Future’s Tyler The Creator, as well as rap legend Jay-Z, ‘Biking’ is a dream collaboration.
Ocean debuted the new song this past weekend on Beats 1 Radio, but fans can purchase the track now. Each artist contributes greatly to the track and it’s another great example of why Tyler and Frank need to continue to hop on tracks together, as the Odd Future duo makes for a perfect team.
Listen to Frank Ocean’s new track ‘Biking’ below and get it now on iTunes.
Ahead of his performance on Saturday Night Live, Harry Styles has shared his debut single, ‘Sign of the Times’. Totally different from his music with One Direction, Styles’ debut track has a Bowie vibe and a folk sound that differs from the pop music he is used to making.
Although Zayn received a lot of backlash from fans and his former band mates for going solo to pursue music that is more true to himself, it is interesting to see how the solo music from each band member thus far differs from the group’s music of the past.
We are certainly digging the new track! And if you like what you hear, Styles will perform ‘Sign of the Times’ and another new track, April 15th on Saturday Night Live.
Listen to Harry Styles’ debut single, ‘Sign of the Times’ below.
