Summerfest Adds Second Garth Brooks Show Due to Overwhelming Demand

Country music superstar Garth Brooks has added a second concert to the Summerfest 2026 lineup in Milwaukee due to overwhelming presale demand. The new show is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16, at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, one day before his initially announced June 17 performance, which will kick off the festival. This marks Brooks’ first-ever appearance at Summerfest and his first Milwaukee concert in over a decade. Tickets for both shows go on sale September 12 and include admission to Summerfest 2026, valid for any day of the festival. Additionally, ticket holders are invited to an official Garth Brooks pre-party featuring live entertainment, food, and drinks, with more details to be announced later. Summerfest 2026 will run across three weekends: June 18-20, June 25-27, and July 2-4.
