As we sit less than two weeks from the start of September, Milwaukee’s once-bountiful batch of summer festivals has dwindled considerably. Saturday, September 15 basically doubles as the unofficial end of summer and it’s also one of Milwaukee’s last opportunities in 2018 to listen to live music outside while washing down junk food with draft beer. Soon, fall will descend upon the city, quickly followed by another dreadful winter. The horror!
In times like these, it’s important to focus on the things you have. Luckily, if you’re a local looking for a massive block party before bidding the season adieu, you have Bay View Bash. Back in July, we let you know who would be joining Merge Records’ own Mike Krol the Bash’s first Milwaukee Record Stage. A couple weeks later, we told you who Rush-Mor Records lined up to play on its North Stage. Now, less than a month before the Bay View Bash, we’re thrilled to say we finally have Bay View Bash’s full music and events lineup. Here it is!
