Summerfest officials have confirmed their first act for 2026 — but lost a 2025 headliner in the process. Country rock band Whiskey Myers will no longer headline the Miller Lite Oasis June 21 this year "due to an urgent family matter," according to a post on Summerfest's Facebook page June 4. But the band will play the Milwaukee music festival in 2026. Details on that date weren't announced. A replacement for the 10 p.m. slot vacated by Whiskey Myers has yet to be announced.

Less than a year after playing Fiserv Forum, seminal hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne is coming back to Milwaukee. This time, one of the Green Bay Packers' most passionate celebrity fans will be playing the American Family Insurance Amphitheater — the site of his Summerfest shows in 2019 and 2022 — as part of a 34-city tour behind his latest album "Tha Carter VI." The tour is billed as a celebration of Wayne's landmark "Tha Carter" album series that began 21 years ago.

From Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival going all-country to Morgan Wallen's two Camp Randall shows, country music is the main event in Wisconsin this summer. Wisconsin has always been a big market for country music, and Milwaukee has become a key stop for most major touring country stars. With the genre's growth has come an explosion in country music sales, and in big country music concert tours.

After postponing several concerts for medical reasons in March — including a show with Sting that had been scheduled for American Family Field in Milwaukee in April — Billy Joel has canceled his 2025 and 2026 touring plans altogether. The legendary singer-songwriter, who turned 76 on May 9, announced via social media May 23 that 17 concerts have been called off after he's been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder.
