Summerfest is back in the actual season of summer this year, but it’s a little different. Instead of one big block of days around the 4th of July, this year the music festival is happening on three successive weekends, June 23-24, June 30-July 2, and July 7-9.
The folks at Summerfest just announced a bunch of headliners, and I’ve put together a list of some that sparked my interest. Keep in mind, all performances and times are subject to change. See the complete schedule here.
