It makes sense that The Weeknd is scheduled to perform on a weekend at Summerfest.
That's because Summerfest just announced The Weeknd will take the stage Saturday, July 7 at American Family Insurance Amphitheater.
The Weeknd isn't just sitting around waiting for Summerfest to do something. He just dropped a quick EP on Friday that has rocketed it's way up the charts. The Weeknd also has a hit song right now from the Black Panther album that's hot everywhere.
The Weeknd is big, no matter what day of the week it is, so it's a great get for Summerfest.
Tickets go on sale, Saturday, April 7 at 10 a.m. on both Summerfest and Ticketmaster websites. Tickets can also be purchased by phone, 800.745.3000 or 866.448.7849.
