Metal titans Megadeth, alternative rock veterans Third Eye Blind and "K-Pop Demon Hunters" singer and voice actor Audrey Nuna are among the over 150 headliners slated for Summerfest 2026 in Milwaukee, festival officials revealed Thursday, Feb. 19.
One of America's largest and longest-running music festivals is also one of the most musically diverse in the world. The 2026 headliner lineup is proof of that approach, featuring Flo Rida, All Time Low, the late Sly Stone's band The Family Stone, KISS rocker Gene Simmons, EDM act Subtronics, Milwaukee singer-songwriter Trapper Schoepp and more.
"We could not be more excited to present this lineup for the 58th edition of Summerfest," Sarah Pancheri, President and CEO of Summerfest parent company Milwaukee World Festival Inc., said Feb. 19 at Summerfest's offices for a lineup announcement. There Milwaukee Bucks entertainer DJ Shawna spun remixes of songs by previously announced 2026 headliners like Ed Sheeran and Carín León.
Established in 1968, Summerfest will return to Milwaukee's lakefront at Maier Festival Park June 18 to 20, June 25 to 27 and July 2 to 4. That doesn't include two kickoff concerts at the American Family Insurance Amphiteater June 16 and 17, with country superstar Garth Brooks.
