Eric Clapton and Roger Daltry Summerfest 2010

Eric Clapton will perform with Roger Daltry on June 28 at Summerfest. Eric Clapton Summerfest Marcus Amphitheater tickets will be in demand, as this show features two artists who have a huge catalog of songs between them. Clapton was best known for being part of Cream, and Daltry was the lead singer of The Who.

Roger Daltry and The Who performed at this year's Super Bowl. Eric Clapton is coming off of a spring tour that featured a collaboration with Jeff Beck and Steve Winwood. Daltry has eight solo albums to his name. Ride A Rock Horse was his best effort. The smash hit movie Tommy is what others remember.

Clapton is a legend on his own. From his work with Cream, Tina Turner, Jeff Beck, and Steve Winwood he covers all the bases of rock and pop.

Summerfest Concert Featuring Moody Blues

On June 30, the Moody Blues will be headlining one of the side stages. The Marcus Amphitheater headliner has yet to be announced, but for some fans, the Moody Blues will be more than enough. The band goes back 45 years. Summerfest Milwaukee is a great place for the Moody Blues show.

Their best, and most famous early hit song was Nights In White Satin. The year was 1968, and the trippy melody was perfect for the times. Tuesday Afternoon was also a mega-hit on that same album. Eventually, the band went their separate ways.

A reunion of the band was sure to follow, and in 1977, they got together to put out an album worthy of the time. Their label was hoping to slide a somewhat nasty old live show out into the marketplace, and the Moodie Blues were having none of that.

Summerfest Grounds to host Verge Festival

Milwaukee Verge Festival will surely draw an "alternative rock" crowd. With AFI and Weezer headlining the festival, and many other alternative acts booked, this could easily draw thousands of fans to the Summerfest grounds.

Riversplash is no more, and that opened the door for another Milwaukee festival. June 4-5 is the weekend to head to lake. The configuration of which stages are to be used has yet to be determined. Verge festival is a great way to attract younger music fans to the Summerfest grounds.

Justin Bieber to Headline Summerfest Milwaukee at the Marcus Amphitheater

Milwaukee’s Summerfest has added teen heartthrob Justin Bieber to its 2010 lineup at the Marcus Amphitheater. Bieber will perform Sunday, June 27^th at 7 PM. Justin Bieber Summerfest tickets go on sale this coming Saturday. Bieber's last appeared in Milwaukee this past November at the Rave.

Canadian native Justin Bieber found his musical fame via YouTube and has released one album, “My World.” Bieber has collaborated with Usher and Ludacris and is featured on the remake of Michael Jackson’s, “We Are the World.” Opening acts for his Summerfest show have yet to be announced. Who would you like to see take the stage with Bieber?

Summerfest Headline Acts Include Sheryl Crow, Public Enemy and Jeff Beck

Summerfest Headline Acts for 2010 are starting to commit. Sheryl Crow, Public Enemy, and Jeff Beck have already signed on. Crow will play on June 24, with Colbie Caillat on a separate stage that same evening. Public Enemy will perform on June 25. Jeff Beck will headline one of the stages on that same night. Also playing the June 25 evening is 311. Thievery Corporation and Phil Vassar will headline the night of June 26.

On the night of June 30, the Moody Blues, Puddle of Mudd, and Chevelle will take to their respective stages. So far, the only July 1 headliner is The Hold Steady. Side stages are where it's at this year. With the Marcus Amphitheater booking Tom Petty for two nights, and country headliners on two others, I'm anxious to see what other headliners will be booked for the stages on the Summerfst grounds. Summerfst plans to announce more headline acts in May. They hope to use social media as their information platform.

Tom Petty Summerfest 2010 June 25 June 26 Marcus Amphitheater Show

It looks like we will see Tom Petty at Summerfest Milwaukee on June 25 and 26. ZZ Top will be the opening act for both nights. We expected an evening of Tom Petty, but the big surprise is that he's here for two nights.

Tom Petty loves to play here, and who can blame him? Milwaukee loves the nostalgia acts. Consider the fact that we saw the BoDeans and Violent Femmes play Summerfest for about 15 years beyond their freshness date. Oh well, we hope for something current, topical, and fresh for some of the other nights at Summerfest 2010. Tom Petty Summerfest tickets will go on sale soon.
