Summerfest announced the headliners for its 2023 festival earlier this morning, featuring more than 100 headlining artists. The lineup includes some of the biggest names in the music industry, such as Eric Church, Dave Matthews Band, ODESZA, Zach Bryan, Imagine Dragons, Earth, Wind & Fire, Noah Kahan, Ava Max, The Pretty Reckless, Sean Paul, Coi Leray, Three 6 Mafia, Buddy Guy, Smokey Robinson, Fleet Foxes, and many more.

The President of Milwaukee World Festival, Sarah Pancheri, stated that convincing these renowned artists to come to Milwaukee was not a difficult task, thanks to Summer Fest’s 55-year history and reputation, as well as its impressive 75-acre festival site located on the shores of Lake Michigan. The site’s beauty and range of amenities make it an attractive destination for both the artists and the fans.

Despite already having a star-studded lineup, two headlining acts for July 1 and July 6 have yet to be announced, so fans still have much to look forward to.

Summerfest 2023 is scheduled to take place over three weekends from June 22-24, June 29-July 1, and July 6-8, with music lovers from all over the country flocking to Henry Maier Festival Park in downtown Milwaukee.

The festival, which is known as the “world’s largest music festival,” has been a highlight of Milwaukee’s summer since 1968. Summerfest has established itself as a premier music event, attracting world-renowned artists from various genres, such as rock, pop, hip-hop, and country.

The festival has a rich history of providing a platform for both up-and-coming and established artists, making it a significant contributor to the music industry. The event’s expansive grounds offer festival-goers ample space to enjoy the music, food, and entertainment, making it a popular destination for music lovers of all ages.
