Weekend 1 of Summerfest 2026 is done. Weekend 2 starts tomorrow - and the lineup for June 25-27 is stacked.
The world's largest music festival continues this week at Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with three more nights of headliners across the American Family Insurance Amphitheater and a dozen other stages along Lake Michigan. Here's what to know before you go.
Thursday, June 25: Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran headlines the American Family Insurance Amphitheater on Thursday, joined by rising UK artist Myles Smith and Aaron Rowe.
The Roots headline the BMO Pavilion the same night, with Halestorm, Kaleo, Walk Off the Earth, and Lisa Loeb among the supporting acts across other stages.
Sheeran - raised in a Catholic family and a former church choir singer - rarely discusses faith publicly, but his music has long carried themes of love, grief, and resilience that resonate deeply with listeners of faith.
His 2026 touring run follows a string of years marked by personal loss and creative reinvention, and Milwaukee will be among his most high-profile North American stops this summer.
Friday, June 26: Cody Johnson with Jessie Murph
Friday brings Cody Johnson to the Amphitheater, joined by Jessie Murph, with Louis Tomlinson headlining the BMO Pavilion. The Revivalists, Grouplove, and Marcus King Band are also on the bill.
For JubileeCast readers, Cody Johnson is a name worth knowing. The Texas country artist is an outspoken Christian who has frequently credited his faith as the anchor of both his music and his life on the road. His authenticity - what his fans call "COJO Nation" - is built as much on his character as his craft.
Saturday, June 27: Post Malone with Carter Faith
Post Malone closes out Weekend 2 on Saturday, performing with Carter Faith. Also on the bill: Russell Dickerson, Wolfmother, Little Feat, and Børns.
Carter Faith - Post Malone's opening act and collaborator - is a Nashville-based country singer worth watching. Her name alone carries a certain resonance for a faith-forward crowd, and her straightforward storytelling style has been earning attention across country radio this year.
Coming Up: Jelly Roll Closes the Festival on July 4
Weekend 3 (July 2-4) brings Muse, Alex Warren, and - saving the biggest moment for last - Jelly Roll, who closes the entire festival on July 4 with Tyler Hubbard.
Jelly Roll's journey from addiction and incarceration to one of the most openly faith-driven voices in modern music makes his Fourth of July headline slot one of the most anticipated moments of the summer.
