Summerfest has unveiled its complete headliner roster for 2026, with country superstar Garth Brooks and KISS legend Gene Simmons topping a bill that spans genres from rock and K-pop to hip-hop and metal, according to mensjournal.com.
The Milwaukee festival, now in its 58th year, confirmed over 150 new acts joining previously announced names including Ed Sheeran, Post Malone and Jelly Roll. Other notable additions include Megadeth, Flo Rida, Megan Moroney, Third Eye Blind, Muse, The Roots, Sean Paul and All Time Low.
“We could not be more excited to present this lineup,” said Sarah Pincroft, chief executive of Milwaukee World Festival Inc, at the official announcement on February 19.
The festival runs across three weekends from June 18 to July 4 at Maier Festival Park, with two kick-off concerts at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater on 16-17 June.
Discounted general admission tickets are available now via the festival website or the box office at 200 N. Harbour Drive with single-day, three-day and nine-day passes, though prices rise on February 25. Promotional deals and free admission opportunities will be announced this spring.
Separate tickets are required for the opening amphitheater shows.
