If you’ve been playing Summerfest 2025 Headliner Announcement Bingo, you’ve already marked off “Modern Country Act” (Lainey Wilson), “Random ’90s Band” (Cake), and “The Avett Brothers” (The Avett Brothers).
Now it’s time to mark off “Boomer Bread And Butter,” because James Taylor And His All-Star Band are set to headline the American Family Insurance Amphitheater on Saturday, July 21, during Summerfest 2025. We’ve seen fire, we’ve seen rain, etc.
Tickets go on sale Friday, December 6 at 10 a.m. Get them at Summerfest.com or Ticketmaster.com, or in person at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater Box Office. Jason Mraz and Boston band Tiny Habits will open the show.
