GARTH BROOKS LEADS THE PARADE OF 600 ARTISTS AT SUMMERFEST 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.
Fans holding tickets to Garth’s shows can start the celebration early at the official Summerfest Garth Brooks Pre-Party, located inside the South Gate of Henry Maier Festival Park with live music, food, drinks, and specialty cocktails before both concerts.
Summerfest, presented by American Family Insurance, has been a cornerstone of American music since 1968, drawing more than 600,000 attendees annually across 12 stages and 75 acres. Following Garth’s June 16 and June 17 concerts, Summerfest 2026 continues with all-day entertainment over three consecutive weekends: June 18–20, June 25–27, and July 2–4. Each Garth Brooks ticket purchased includes complimentary admission to Summerfest 2026, valid on any festival day.
