It goes on from June 26 to July 6th. Has a lot of great bands http://www.summerfest.com/flash/#app=cc16&ff76-selectedIndex=1
I'm so excited for it. Got advance tickets about a month ago. I'm goin the 29th 30th 1st 3rd 4th and 5th The 1st is gonna be amazing. Railroad earth followed by yonder on the same stage. That'll be a concert to remember, or completley forget if I have an especially good time.
I was there two nights ago, I saw Steve Miller, he was alright, I'm not such a fan of his music, however. Joe Cocker opened for him, alot of older folks were really into it, but I just was anxious to see Jack's Mannequin, which was stupid of me. Then, I saw a band which I have a few songs of on my Itunes, Jack's Mannequin- However there were abunch of wanna-be scenesters, and teenyboppers, it was the worst crowd, ever. I could barely see/hear anything. They played alot of their old songs though, From "Something Corporate", but, noone knew any of it. Oh wells, it's a Summerfest concert, I wasn't expecting much. Then I headed over towards the Harley stage, and Michael Franti and Spearheads were there, My cousin's friend Chris had told us great things about this reggae/mix bob marley-remake band, so I checked it out, everyone was dancing, I felt such warmth from a concert, he pulled little crazy-childs up onto the stage, it was great. Not to mention me and my friend looked behind us, and we saw Ari Hestand! For all of of you who PROBABLLY don't know him, he's a ska- artist, with much talent. We saw him earlier at the chipotle stage, he's there everyday @ 7, check him out! Ohhh and we saw some english band "Company of thieves" also quite good.
All in all, I discovered many new talents, that I'll be looking to follow over the years, and hopefully they'll all become big one day, very soon. Check 'em out if you'd please, but most of the bands are 230948230498 times better live , head over to summerfest, no waste of time!
I went up there for Phil and Friends on the 4th. That was the first time I have been to Summerfest. I had a lot of fun. The show was great. I wanted to ride the ski lift thing but I got up to the ticket booth just after they closed That looked so fun!
