Camp Aramoni: Where nature meets luxury

Inside Milwaukee’s Summerfest 2026

WGN Radio’s Dave Plier talks with Scott Ziel, Vice President of Entertainment for Milwaukee’s Summerfest, about why “the big gig” on the Lake Michigan lakefront remains the world’s largest music festival and a must‑do summer tradition for Chicagoans and beyond. Scott talks about how Summerfest has grown into 75 acres of music with a 23,000‑seat amphitheater and 12 stages hosting everyone from global headliners like Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Muse, and Ed Sheeren, to rising artists you can still catch on their intimate free stages. Scott also highlights the special Fourth of July show with Jelly Roll. From cheese curds and giant pretzels to brandy old fashioneds and grasshoppers, Summerfest 2026 is all just a short drive north of Chicago.
