Summerfest added yet another act to its American Family Insurance Amphitheater lineup this morning: hip-hop artist J. Cole, who will hit the main stage on Tuesday, July 3.
Debuting in 2007 with his mixtape "The Come Up," the North Carolina native has carved himself a noteworthy place in the modern rap scene, signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, releasing four successful studio albums – most recently "4 Your Eyez Only" in 2016 – and working with the likes of DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar and Janet Jackson.
Tickets for the show go on sale at Saturday, March 3, at noon. Tickets can be purchased online at both Summerfest's website and Ticketmaster, as well as in person at the Summerfest box office, Ticketmaster ticket centers and select Walmart stores, and over the phone at either (800) 745-3000 (for a live Ticketmaster agent) or (866) 448-7849 (for the Ticketmaster Express automated phone line).
With this morning's announcement, the Big Gig only has its final three headliners left to announce, as well as its list of grounds stage headliners, so stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for more news.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
