SUMMERFEST Adds Second Garth Show!!!

Garth Brooks fans are getting twice the reason to celebrate. Due to overwhelming demand, Summerfest just added a second Garth Brooks date in Milwaukee, giving him back-to-back nights at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

"I can't thank Milwaukee and the sweet folks at Summerfest enough for adding a second show,” Garth said. "To get the chance to play Summerfest is cool in itself, but to get to play it twice is stupid fun!"

Originally announced for June 17, 2026, Garth will now also perform on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The shows mark his first Summerfest appearances and his long-awaited return to Milwaukee after more than a decade.

Tickets for both dates are on sale now through Summerfest.com, Ticketmaster.com, and at the Amphitheater box office.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Garth Brooks to Summerfest and cannot imagine a better way to kick off the festival in 2026,” said Sarah Pancheri, President and CEO of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. “This show is not to be missed. We’ve seen countless iconic performances over nearly six decades, and this promises to be one of the most memorable yet.”

Fans can start the party early at the official Summerfest Garth Brooks Pre-Party, located inside the South Gate of Henry Maier Festival Park with live music, food, drinks, and specialty cocktails.

Summerfest, presented by American Family Insurance, has been a cornerstone of American music since 1968, drawing more than 600,000 attendees annually across 12 stages and 75 acres. Summerfest 2026 runs June 18–20, June 25–27, and July 2–4.
