Garth Brooks fans are getting twice the reason to celebrate. Due to overwhelming demand, Summerfest just added a second Garth Brooks date in Milwaukee, giving him back-to-back nights at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

"I can't thank Milwaukee and the sweet folks at Summerfest enough for adding a second show,” Garth said. "To get the chance to play Summerfest is cool in itself, but to get to play it twice is stupid fun!"

Originally announced for June 17, 2026, Garth will now also perform on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

Summerfest 2026 just released the complete lineup of 600 performers, and Garth couldn’t be more excited to get the party started with shows on June 16 and 17.  While he was originally scheduled to perform one show on June 17, the June 16 date was added due to demand.

This is the first time Garth has performed at Summerfest, staged at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee.  The back-to-back shows mark his long-awaited return to Milwaukee, where he last played two concerts at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in 2015.

In the days surrounding March 17, Music City will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with culture-rich events, including Music City Irish Fest, combining plenty of music, dancing, food, and fun. Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk will host some of them.

While Nashville eagerly awaits the chance to celebrate the Luck of the Irish every year, a recent trip to Ireland revealed the Irish don’t wait for holidays to celebrate country music.

Some artists make resolutions. Garth Brooks makes moves.

"I'm an artist, I HAVE to make music," Garth said. "And I'm an entertainer, so I HAVE to take the music to the people."

The year is already coming into focus with two major shows announced at Milwaukee’s American Family Insurance Amphitheater, bringing Garth back to Summerfest on June 16 and 17, 2026. It’s a long-awaited return to Milwaukee — and a clear signal that the road is calling again.
