Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg & ScHoolboy Q Will Headline Final Night Of Summerfest
Today Milwaukee's Summerfest announced a special concert on July 7 to close out their 11-day music festival extravaganza, headlined by three hip-hop heavy-weights; GRAMMY winner Lil Wayne and GRAMMY nominees Snoop Dogg and ScHoolboy Q.
Wayne will join fellow longtime rap icon Snoop along with steadily rising West Coast hip-hop champ ScHoolboy for what the fest shares is their only joint show domestically this year. The concert will take place at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, which serves as the main stage for the fest.
This year, Snoop celebrates the 25th anniversary of his 1993 debut album, Doggystyle. Its hit single "Gin And Juice" earned the SoCal icon his second GRAMMY nod and nearly-instant rap star status, following his hot features on Dr. Dre's 1992 debut album, The Chronic.
Last September, Wayne finally released his long-delayed, highly anticipated Tha Carter V. ScHoolboy, following a feature on the GRAMMY-nominated Black Panther: The Album last year, marked his first solo release since 2016 this month, with "Numb Numb Juice." The trio will have plenty of hot tracks ready to get the summer vibes going and to close out Summerfest.

Summerfest, whose entire lineup has yet to be announced, will bring over 800 artists to 12 stages across the festival grounds which surround the amphitheater, from June 26–30 and July 2–7. Tickets for each headline concert are purchased individually and include access to the entire festival grounds and other shows for that day.
Other previously announced headline concerts include GRAMMY nominee Jennifer Lopez, stopping by on July 3 as part of her It's My Party Tour, and GRAMMY winners Ozzy Osbourne and Megadeth on July 4 for their No More Tours 2 jaunt.
GRAMMY-winning country icon Willie Nelson will also be bringing his Outlaw Music Festival back to the event, along with Phil Lesh, GRAMMY nominees the Avett Brothers, GRAMMY winner Alison Krauss and more for the July 27th date of their tour.
Tickets for Wayne, Snoop and ScHoolboy's show go on sale next Friday, April 12, with a Summerfest pre-sale happening the day prior; more info here.
