Milwaukee Prepares for nearly one million Summerfest fans

This is it. Milwaukee prepares for almost one million Summerfest fans. What Summerfest shows are most likely to draw the biggest crowds to the free stages? My guess for three of them are Devo on July 4, Passion Pit at the US Cellular stage on June 24th, B.B. King on June 27 at the M & I Classic Rock Stage, and The Offspring at the Harley Roadhouse on July 1. What do these bands have in common? They bring the party fans down to the lakefront. T-minus four days and counting until Summerfest Milwaukee!

Side Stages Announce Headliners at Summerfest

A number of the side stage headline acts have been posted for Summerfest 2009. I have to hand it to the Summerfest management. They have booked some solid shows on those stages. We are not surprised to see the BoDeans on one night. At least they are not taking up space on the Marcus Stage.

My early pick for best night would be when the Dropkick Murphys take the stage. The Tossers will play just prior to the Dropkick Murphys. The Offspring play the same night. They are on the Miller Lite Oasis stage. That used to be called the "Miller Lite Jazz Oasis" stage. How times have changed.

Is Summerfest setting up a "punk" night? What a surprise. That's all I have time for today. I'll be back with more Summerfest concert announcements as they get locked in.
