The poster (shared by a Redditor) shows a star-heavy Summerfest bill for Milwaukee this summer — think Garth Brooks, Don Toliver, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Muse and Jelly Roll among the marquee names — plus a sprawling undercard that includes acts across rock, indie, country and alternative scenes.
- Mixed headliner energy: Several users called the top billing “not for them,” while others shrugged and focused on the value of the undercard.
- Undercard stans: Comments lit up for punk/post-hardcore/emo acts — people hyped Koyo, State Champs, Amyl and the Sniffers, Hot Mulligan and other sneaky finds.
- Comedy and memes: Someone joked “Baha Men confirmed,” and another imagined a doom-metal singer doing a country intro — the thread leaned into the weird and funny takes.
- Design roast: One user bluntly declared it “the worst festival flyer design ever.” Graphic designers, you’ve been warned.
- Local crossover chatter: Fans pointed out that Milwaukee often shares bands with nearby fests (a commenter noted recent overlaps like Taking Back Sunday and others), so some saw this as predictable routing rather than a one-off lineup choice.
- Price talk: One person did the math and called the undercard “not bad” for a reported $58 for nine days (plus a cheeky note about a $2 fee).
Beyond the headliners, the poster lists well-known festival-friendly acts such as Echo & The Bunnymen, Gin Blossoms, Little Feat, The Roots, and plenty of regional favorites and rising touring acts — something for lots of different crowds.
Reddit’s take: not a universally loved top line, but there’s enough middle and undercard diversity to make fans curious. If you go, there’s likely something in the schedule for everyone — whether you’re there for the arena-level headliners or the buried gems.
