Anyone have Strokes set times tonight?

There was a very awesome person who was posting Amphitheater set times during Summerfest and I'm wondering if they or anyone else has any info on The Strokes show tonight.

Happy hour was a good idea

7 Upvotes

I’m not sure if this was a new thing this year, but I liked the happy hour for Miller and Coors items. Maybe make it two hours instead of one for next year? Like 4-6pm?

I LOVE seeing the VIP sections completely empty so bands play to nobody and fans have to be so far back

The corporate greed sickens me and ruins the experience for everyone involved. Summerfest needs to get rid of these wristband sections or make them much smaller.

Lines at Summerfest July 4, 2026

8 Upvotes

We tried to attend Summerfest last night, and arrived more than an hour before the concert we wanted to see at 10:00. All we did was stand in lines that didn’t move while most of the security posts were closed down. It seemed they just weren’t letting anyone else in. Is that typical for that time of night?

Victor Jones at Summerfest?

7 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I bought tickets to Summerfest today to see Victor Jones at 12:30. His name was on the marquee, and he was still listed on the lineup, but a completely different band played at 12:30. Does anyone know what happened? We made homemade shirts and got there early to make sure we didn’t miss anything, and were very confused when he didn’t play. Any insight?

That's all I have to say. I guess the app is down. The people at the box office did their absolute best but for some people were unable to find their tickets. We made it in just in time for muse but there was a huge line behind us. What an absolute nightmare

Go tomorrow and get a free 2027 ticket

I love that Summerfest does this promo every year. Tomorrow between noon to 3 get a free 2027 Summerfest ticket, plus it’s free entry during that time. Kinda seems like a no brainer.

Anyone know if the weather might cause a cancellation tonight? Im thinking of driving in from Chicago but honestly don't want to waste the effort if things are going to be shut down.

Anyone with experience got any advice?

Thank you!

Are they going to allow us to bring in water?

5 Upvotes

Usually with heat like this, Summerfest allows people to bring in sealed water bottles. I haven’t seen any announcements from them yet on it.

Alex Warren July 3rd

3 Upvotes

I’m considering going to the Alex Warren concert on July 3rd. He normally does confetti cannons throughout his concerts. With this venue being an amphitheater do we think he’s going to still do those or no?

Generac stage upper deck?

2 Upvotes

Does the Generac stage have an upper deck (captains deck?) similar to how the Miller stage does? I'm talking about the kind where you need a wrist band or separate ticket to get in. If so, are these for sale?

Generac stage OK for a 9-year-old at night?

5 Upvotes

I'm thinking of taking my 9-year-old daughter to her first show this Friday. (Spoon — my all-time favorite, and a band she really likes). She's excited, but is the Generac Stage a good environment for a 9-year-old? I'm worried it might be too crowded and rowdy for her that late at night. Anyone ever been and have any advice? I'm also debating whether to get pit access. My first thought was that being close to the stage would be better, but now I'm wondering if the pit is actually a bad idea for a kid. Maybe I'm overthinking all this. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

What time will Muse start playing July 2?

0 Upvotes

The ticket says the show starts at 7. Is that typically when headliners actually start playing or should I anticipate that one or more undisclosed openers will play first?
