Summerfest has revealed the wide-ranging lineup coming to Milwaukee, WI over three weekends in the summer of 2025. Def Leppard, Hozier, James Taylor, Lainey Wilson, The Killers, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, and The Lunineers will anchor the weekends for separately ticketed concerts at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, with hundreds more playing on 12 stages throughout the general admission 75-acre Henry Miller Festival Park June 19th–21st, June 26th–28th, and July 3rd–5th.
As is tradition, the 57th Summerfest has a little something for everyone. Gary Clark Jr., The Allman Betts Band, and George Thorogood & The Destroyers will bring the blues to weekend one, alongside indie darling Japanese Breakfast, throwbacks The Isley Brothers, Foghat, and Grand Funk Railroad, indie-folkers The Head and The Heart and Hiss Golden Messenger, hip-hop crooners Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Connecticut jam upstart Eggy, and more.
For weekend two, headliner Lainey Wilson will bring along Lukas Nelson and Shane Smith & The Saints for support, with additional twang supplied by The Avett Brothers. Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will present a new project The Machines of God in addition to fellow ’90s favorite CAKE, new wave heroes DEVO and The Psychedelic Furs, Migos rapper Offset, New Orleans funk torchbearers Dumpstaphunk, newly minted country duo Julien Baker & TORRES, rising bluegrass stars Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, and plenty more.
Finally, Summerfest will close with a third weekend of cross-genre programming. Fans can catch Japanese kawaii metal sensation BABYMETAL, the smooth R&B of Chicago, electro-house DJ Porter Robinson, reggae stalwarts Dirty Heads, country singer Nate Smith, OG punk outfit Social Distortion, rising folkie MJ Lenderman, Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, alt-rocker Bully, enigmatic saxophonist Saxsquatch, and lots more.
