Now that we’re a week into the preseason, it’s safe to say The Pack is, in fact, back. The impending arrival of the Green Bay Football™ season also brings the return of another fall/winter pastime here in Wisconsin. Yep! The “Milwaukee Record Halftime Show” concert series is coming back for another season, and we’re ready to show you (most of) the lineup.
This season, we’ve assembled a stacked roster of 15 acts that will provide FREE all-ages entertainment at Cactus Club during halftime of Green Bay’s games. Get ready to see 15-minute shows from the likes of Sleepersound, Ellee Grim, El Sebas, Chinese Telephones, and many more. There will also be a Packers vintage pop-up from casa duBois on December 14 (the same game dak duBois will perform), as well as some out-of-town Halftime Show appearances by L.A. psych band WAND on September 11, Chicago-based Jaff Graffner on October 26, and Appleton R&B up-and-comer Poet22 on December 7.
This season, our pals at Hamm’s will sponsor the series, meaning fans can enjoy specials on cans and buckets of the beer “from the Land of Sky Blue Waters” and Miller High Life all game long. WYNK has also come on as a sponsor and its THC seltzer will be available at a discount during all games. Last and certainly not least, Transfer Pizzeria Cafe will once again be coming by most games to drop off some complementary pizza.
As usual, there will be a DJ playing music during commercial breaks. There will also be touchdown shots (both regular and N/A options will be offered). Games will be shown in the bar as usual, but they’ll also be shown on a projector screen in Cactus Club’s back room. And we repeat: THERE’S NO COVER CHARGE for the concerts, but we hope you’ll consider tipping the performers and/or buying some of their merch. Check out the full lineup below!
