*** Official Summerfest 2018 ***

As much as no Alpine sucks, I'm looking forward to this.

    Joined the warehouse for the first time and put my request in for the show. I’ve only got one show this year and since I’m a Brewers fan from Iowa I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and catch this and a ballgame in the same trip. I’ve ne over actually followed the tour announcement but do they still sprinkle in shows? Is it possible they will still announce a Midwest show besides what dropped today? Regardless I’m excited and can’t wait for summer. Especially with the cold temps we’ve had lately!

    I feel like they've gone away from adding shows after the original tour announcement. The last time I think it happened was Wrigley Field shows in 2010. Shows were in September but announced in July.

    Just requested tix, went to Summerfest spur of the moment in 2016 after Alpine and saw The Roots and it was pretty awesome. I've done Northerly a few times so this will be something different. Hopefully will be some other solid bands to check out!

    I'm new to the Summerfest thing. First time this year. For those that have been, what's the deal? Good places to eat/drink in the grounds or at least near? Better to uber from hotel or pay for parking? If you park, is there any tailgating scene at all (I'm sure there isn't but thought I'd ask)? Anything else we should know before planning the trip?

    With your ticket you get into summerfest. Which will have lots of bands playing before the concert. So most that go early go catch another band instead of tailgate. Lots of food to eat right at the summerfest grounds also. Don’t remember if it cost anything for parking close ( I want to say it was around $10) but you can find free places to park if you don’t mind walking a little bit.

    You will enjoy Summerfest if you have never been. There is no shortage of music, food, and drink. Lots of other fun things to do as well. It is right in the middle of downtown. I suggest getting there early to walk around and check everything out. If you get there earlier on parking and traffic isn't too bad. As the day goes on it starts to get busy and Uber is a safer bet.

    Check out the Summerfest website as it gets closer to summer.

    This is a picture of what I presume to be the floor in front of the stage without any temporary seats/folding chairs. It seems to be a very odd stage and seating set up. Haven't seen DMB at this venue so not sure if this is what the pit will be like.

    I didn't see anything other than bleachers. I guess now I'm happy about my yellows from WH? Summerfest should not be a difficult ticket, I don't get it.

    Ticketmaster authorized my card for 3 tickets, but I haven't received confirmation. And the site keeps saying there's an error so I can't buy any more. Anyone else have that problem?

    Very small compared to alpine but great views/sound, didn't seem too packed when i went in 2014.

    I pulled sec 6 Row H on Ticketmaster and they say limited view. Anyone know if this is really a problem? I have warehouse yellows to fall back on but if the view isn't bad i'd keep these for sure. I know there aren't any pillars.

    I hate Ticketmaster. We got row T, uncovered bleacher. Fine. I double check on my laptop and I get Z. Ruh roh, I better book it. I check now and there's one section over that's not with a "warning: obstructed view" in row E through CC.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've seen tons of shows there, and have had seats that indicate that, but there's barely anything obstructing your view.

    Will be seeking out 2 decent seats - preferably red, or middle sections of the yellow covered. Better to email me at mikehandal@gmail.com if you have something.

    Just noticed they announced the full lineup for Summerfest:

    https://summerfest.com/2018-lineup/

    Anyone know when they typically announce set times?

    Some other acts playing on July 1:
    Greta Van Fleet (nice, been wanting to check them out, although I would guess they might play the same time as DMB)
    Spoon
    Chromeo
    Pat Benatar
    The Neighborhood
    Rick Springfield (lol)
    Flock of Seagulls (double lol)

    The headliners at the amphitheater (i.e. Dave) traditionally end before the headliners start at the ground stages. MKE native, been to Summerfest 1000 times, and have always been able to catch at the very least half of a set. Definitely going to Greta with my cronies after Dave, they seem like they are going to be a riot.

    Greta Van Fleet is fucking awesome. Saw them at Lincoln Hall in Chicago last November and they blew the roof off the joint.

    They're playing at 10:00 PM though which will be smack dab in the middle of DMB's set most likely?
