One of the greatest annual music festivals in the United States is looking to give local bands in Wisconsin and Illinois the chance to play on one of its stages.

Summerfest In Milwaukee Is Looking For Bands

When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the singer and guitarist of a Heavy Metal band. Of course, it's hard to fulfill a dream like that when you don't have any musical talent. So, I got a job in radio instead.

Not only am I playing my favorite bands on the radio, but I'm also just a big fan of music. I'm always listening to tunes. I still buy physical copies of albums. It's a great way to support talented musicians.

My hobby is going to concerts. I would go to shows every day if I could. Unfortunately, time and money prevent that from happening. I wish I could get paid to do it. There's nothing like seeing a band perform live.

One of my favorite places to see live music is every year at Summerfest in Milwaukee. It's the ultimate festival. Their stages are filled from start to finish with so many talented musicians. The event puts me in my happy place.

I love the fact that each year, Summerfest gives local and regional bands the opportunity to open for national acts on big stages and in front of big crowds. I've always been a big supporter of these types of musicians.

Summerfest

If you're a musician, in a band, or just a fan, now is the time to apply to play Summerfest. You've got until March 31st to sign up for the chance at a spot on the festival. Get your application in now.
