Brad Paisley Comes To Summerfest 2014 | Tickets On Sale Now

Country-rock superstar Brad Paisley will headline the Summerfest Marcus Amphitheater on June 27. Paisley is the sixth headliner announced for the event’s main stage so far, with Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, the Dave Matthews Band, the Zac Brown Band, and Mötley Crüe already confirmed to perform. Classic rock legend Alice Cooper will feature as a special guest at Mötley Crüe’s show on July 4.

Paisley’s June 27^th show will be opened by multi-genre music veteran Darius Rucker and fellow country signer Joel Crouse. Rucker is best-known as the founding member of rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, though, since 2001, he has received acclaim for a number of solo R&B and country albums. In December, Rucker became only the third African-American in history to win a Grammy Award in a country-music category, earning the nomination for his collaboration with the famed Lady Antebellum on his billboard topping single “Wagon Wheel”.

The 21-year-old Crouse has yet to release his debut full-length album, though his two singles, 2013’s “If You Want Some” and 2014’s “Why God Made Love Songs”, have both impressed on the charts. Crouse has toured with established acts Toby Keith and The Band Perry since 2011.

Paisley’s career in the genre has been in high-gear since his 1999 debut album “Who Needs Pictures” scored a pair of chart-topping singles and was certified platinum within a year of its release. He has released 9 more studio albums since then, garnering over 30 top-10 Billboard singles and 18 number ones. Paisley has won over 50 awards for his work in country-music, including best new vocalist in 2000, and, most recently, entertainer of the year at the 44^th annual Country Music Awards.

Summerfest runs from June 25^th to July 6^th at Maier Festival Grounds on Lake Michigan. A one-day hiatus will take place on Monday, June 30^th.

Bruno Mars Summerfest Tickets | Summerfest 2014 Opening Day Headline

Bruno Mars tickets for the Summerfest show are available today. Hot off his performance during the half time show of Super Bowl 48, tickets for the Summerfest date went on sale just 12 hours later. Mars will play the Marcus Amphitheater stage on June 25. That same ticket will get you into the entire Summerfest grounds.

Bruno Mars found fame in 2009, when he co wrote many songs for various artists. His first album, titled Doo-Wops & Hooligans nearly topped the Billboard charts in 2010. It was inevitable that Mars would be up for multiple Grammy nominations. As of this date, Bruno Mars has sold upwards of 50 million singles.

It's no wonder that Bruno Mars is such a hit right now. He's multi-talented, and grew up in a musical family. From age of three, he found the stage to be a place where he was very comfortable. Even if those early performances were just Elvis Presley impersonations.  Bruno Mars can do it all.  His shows are filled with song and dance. Check him out during Summerfest 2014.
