Summerfest 2024 kicked off on June 20 at American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and some of the biggest stars showed up on stage and off.
Weekend one’s headliners included Kane Brown with Kameron Marlowe and Nightly; Motley Crüe with Seether and Buckcherry; and SZA with Aminé. Goo Goo Dolls, Black Pumas, Chelsea Cutler, Toosii, Taking Back Sunday, David Kushner, Brittany Howard and Kevin Kaarl were also among the first weekend’s performers.
In the crowd, Kim Kardashian was seen watching SZA’s set with her 11-year-old daughter, North West. Due to a storm, the “Kill Bill” superstar’s set was delayed by more than an hour, but according to local news reports, the singer eventually took the stage to perform her set at around 10:15 p.m.
Summerfest will continue on June 27 through 29 with headliners Illenium with special guests; Tyler Childers with S.G. Goodman and Adeem the Artist; and Keith Urban with NEEDTOBREATHE and Alana Springsteen. The festival will conclude on Fourth of July weekend with headliners AJR with Carly Rae Jepsen and Mxmtoon; Maroon 5 with special guests; and Lil Uzi Vert with Lil Yachty, JID, Rico Nasty and Lihtz.
