Reviewers on best, worst of Summerfest’s Weekend 3 and whole 2025 fest
Journal Sentinel reviewers share the best and worst of what they heard the final weekend of Summerfest, and all of the 2025 festival.
Summerfest in Milwaukee has announced three 2026 American Family Insurance Amphitheater headliners so far — and now, the first headliner for the BMO Pavilion next year.
Louis Tomlinson will perform at the BMO Pavilion June 26, festival officials announced Nov. 3. Reserved seats go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 7 at the box office (200 N. Harbor Drive) and summerfest.com. Prices have yet to be announced but reserved seats will include Summerfest general admission June 26. Additional seating and standing room access to Tomlinson’s performance also will be available for Summerfest general admission ticket holders on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Milwaukee music festival returns June 18 to 20, June 25 to 27 and July 2 to 4. Ed Sheeran and Post Malone have already been announced for amphitheater performances, on June 25 and 27, respectively. And country superstar Garth Brooks will do two Summerfest kick-off concerts in the amphitheater June 16 and 17.
