In 2022, singer, rapper, and producer T-Pain embarked on an 18-show jaunt he called his “Road To Wiscansin” tour. That run of shows culminated with a show at The Rave/Eagles Club, which was dubbed “Wiscansin Fest” and featured performances by T-Pain, Lil John, Juvenile, Hannibal Buress’ hip-hop alter ego Eshu Tune, and many more.
Mr. Pain is returned to the same Milwaukee venue a year later for another one-day “Escape From Wiscansin Fest” spectacle, then came back last June to headline “Wiscansin Fest” again. Now a lasting and beloved part of Milwaukee’s festival calendar, an event originally born out of needing to make “mansion” rhyme with “Wisconsin” will return to The Rave in 2025.
Today, “Back To Wiscansin Fest” was announced. The fourth annual installment is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 14. This time around, the worldwide sensation will be joined by the likes of Feid, Keyshia Cole, Pusha T, Wale, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Diesel (Shaq’s DJ alias), NLE Choppa, Kash Doll, Dreezy, Prof,Durand Bernarr, Armani White, Milwaukee’s own DJay Mando and NilexNile, and more. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
This year’s Wiscansin Fest will also be preceded by “Wiscansin State Fear,” which will take over the Milwaukee Mile “with a full day of open drifting, carnival rides, and games for all.” There will also be night time karaoke. A “2-Day Wiscansin State Fear + Wiscansin Fest GA Package” is also available. Hell yes.
