Milwaukee's Summerfest 2024 headliners: Toosii joins lineup of Tyler Childers, Motley Crue

Superstar DJ Illenium, soul rockers Black Pumas and the late Tom Petty's righthand man Mike Campbell are set for Summerfest in 2024 — along with over 140 other headliners.

The 56-year-old Milwaukee music festival — one of the oldest, largest and most musically diverse in America — revealed the headliner lineup Thursday morning, ranging from singer-rapper Toosii to riot grrrl pioneers Sleater-Kinney to up-and-comer David Kushner of viral hit "Daylights."

R&B group En Vogue, country up-and-comer Jessie Murph and breakout Milwaukee rappers Certified Trapper and DC The Don are also among the headliners scheduled to play one of the festival’s eight primary stages June 20 to 22, June 27 to 29 and July 4 to 6 at Maier Festival Park on Milwaukee’s lakefront.

Black Pumas is one of more than 140 headliners revealed for Summerfest 2024 Thursday.

Illenium has been added as the eighth headliner for the festival's largest venue, the 23,000-person-capacity American Family Insurance Amphitheater, on June 27. A separate ticket will be required to see the show, but same-day Summerfest general admission is included. Tickets for Illenium's show will go on sale at 10 a.m. March 29 at the box office and summerfest.com, with prices (and opening acts) to be announced.

When does Summerfest 2024 lineup come out?

More headliners — including one more concert at the festival's largest venue, the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, and one final show at the BMO Pavilion — will be announced in the coming weeks. A full schedule featuring around 800 acts, most based in Wisconsin, is expected by late May.

How much are Summerfest 2024 tickets?

Single-day general admission tickets are $28 at summerfest.com. Three-day general admission passes are currently $62, and nine-day passes are currently $130, through Summerfest’s website and box office.
