Did you catch Benson Boone at last night’s Grammy Awards? How about the part where he got “stripped” by Heidi Klum and Nikki Glaser? How about his “aggressive crotch grab” that was so aggressive he had to kinda-sorta apologize? Well, if you missed it, you can see it all in person when the young pop star headlines the American Family Insurance Amphitheater during Summerfest, on Thursday, July 3. (Well, Klum and Glaser probably won’t be there, but still.)
Tickets go on sale Friday, February 7 at 10 a.m. at Summerfest.com, Ticketmaster.com, and in person at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater Box Office. Not convinced? J.Lo’s into it!
Previous Summerfest 2025 headliner announcements have included Megan Thee Stallion, Japanese Breakfast, Hozier, The Killers, Riley Green, James Taylor, Cake, Chicago, The Avett Brothers, Def Leppard, and Lainey Wilson. And yeah, George Thorogood & The Destroyers and Foghat. Summerfest!
Summerfest 2025 will take place June 19-21, June 26-28, and July 3-5. The festival drew 555,925 attendees in 2024, down from 624,407 in 2023. In 2022, Summerfest drew 445,611 fans.

At the time, the 2019 attendance was Summerfest’s lowest in more than 30 years.
