Alpine Valley hopes to make some noise again in 2018

Unable to land any major performers, Alpine Valley closed down for the first time ever, leaving East Troy without the excitement and tourism that come from having 25,000 music fans descend on your town.
But the crowds could be back next summer.
Alpine Valley officials are offering assurances that they are working hard to bring the concerts back in 2018. Fans, however, may see some unfamiliar faces taking the stage.
Jon Reens, vice president of Live Nation Entertainment, which owns the music venue, said the lineup for Alpine Valley’s revival in 2018 is likely to include some well-known performers and some newcomers.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a mix,” Reens said.
He was not ready to mention names or engage in any speculation. But Reens expressed confidence that concerts will return. His staff, he said, is already recruiting performers.
“We go to acts we feel will fit the venue,” he said. “We’re already putting offers out.”
