Summerfest 2026 is a distant seven months away, but there are already plenty of announced headliners to get excited about. Garth Brooks! Ed Sheeran! Post Malone! A TikTok guy! This guy!

Oh, and Muse was just announced, too. The English band will headline the American Family Insurance Amphitheater on Thursday, July 2, 2026. The show will be the group’s first Milwaukee gig in more than 15 years.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 21 at 10 a.m. at Summerfest.com, Ticketmaster.com, or in person at the AmFam Amphitheater. Tickets include general day-of-show admission to Summerfest.

Summerfest 2026 is set to run June 18-20, June 25-27, and July 2-4. (Yep, it’s the same Thursday-Saturday deal.) A total of 602,231 folks attended Summerfest 2025—an approximate 8% increase from 2024.
