Boring. Summerfest gets worse and worse every year! Only band I really want to see is Offspring, and I'm a huge classic rock fan! bleh

Ah, this is the CLASSIC ROCK STAGE, so one can't really complain about the lineup there. The other stages have OK acts but lots of repeats yes I agree don't blame the economy.

summerfest books nearly the same types and quality of acts every year, yet somehow people are acting like this year's crop (similar to last year's, and the year before, and the year before that, etc....), is somehow due to the economy. get real. and i absolutely love how those with questionable musical taste (huey lewis dude?) somehow become musical snobs when summerfest announces the lineup every year. "oh man i LOVE the Fixx, but Men At Work? i gotta draw the line bro-ham. summerfest sucks."
