okay, just because YOU do not like the act, or music today, doesn't mean that 1,000,000+ people don't enjoy Katy Perry and other poppy music (record sales, check that out). Guess what, there are other acts playing, I think, that day. You may want to look into that. You may be in luck, because I'm guessing you're a Boogie Men fan, or Pat McCurdy. Or, do us Summerfest-goers a favor, and actually stay home. Less crowd.

There is plenty of great music being made today, but if you are too lazy to look for it beyond Kiss-fm and the main stage at Summerfest, then you get what you deserve.

You can't blame Summerfest for the terrible music that is currently "hot". Katy Perry IS popular and will sell out thus will be a moneymaker for the grounds. It just sucks that today's music is nothing short of awful.
