The grounds stage headliner announcement for Summerfest’s 50th year was shared with a national audience this year, when Jimmy Kimmel plugged it on his ABC show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night. And Summerfest will stream some of the live performances free to a global audience with the help of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“Music is in the DNA of Jimmy Kimmel Live and the show has a passion for bringing great, one of a kind content to our fans,” said co-executive producer Doug Deluca. “Jumping in with Summerfest to launch such a big initiative made complete sense, they are the country’s largest music festival.”

Summerfest 2017 will be held at Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee from June 28 to July 2 and July 4 to July 9.
