Summerfest, the largest music festival in the United States, is returning in September.
After being canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Milwaukee-based show is back with over 100 headliners including Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Chris Stapleton, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and many more.
"We could not be more excited to unveil the lineup for Summerfest," Don Smiley, president and CEO of Milwaukee World Festival Inc., said in a statement released on Thursday per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"From first-timers, including Chance the Rapper, Miley Cyrus, and Run the Jewels, to Fest favorites including Dave Matthews Band, T-Pain, Styx and Chris Stapleton, our lineup continues to be one of the most diverse and unique in the industry."
