Milwaukee’s Summerfest returns in 2026 with one of its most expansive lineups to date, spanning three weekends, June 18-20, June 25-27 and July 2-4. Headliners include Ed Sheeran, Post Malone and Jelly Roll, alongside amphitheater kickoffs from Garth Brooks on June 16 and 17. The lakefront staple once again blends global pop, country, hip-hop and rock across multiple stages.
The first weekend features Megan Moroney, Don Toliver and Carin León at the top of the bill, with additional sets from Styx, Third Eye Blind and David Lee Roth. Weekend two turns up with Ed Sheeran, Cody Johnson and Post Malone, plus appearances from The Roots, Louis Tomlinson and Audrey Nuna. The closing weekend brings Muse, Alex Warren and Jelly Roll, joined by Sean Paul, Flo Rida and All Time Low.
Across more than 150 announced headliners, the diversity remains a defining feature. From Myles Smith and Russell Dickerson to Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors, the 58th edition stretches across eras and genres. Festival organizers say the full lineup, totaling around 600 acts across 12 stages, will be revealed in May.
Tickets are on sale now, with single-day general admission starting at $25 through February 28 before price increases roll out in the spring. Three-day and nine-day passes are also available, along with separate tickets for American Family Insurance Amphitheater and select reserved stage experiences. Summerfest continues to anchor the Midwest summer calendar with scale and range.
