Another week, another duo of new BMO Pavilion headliners announced for the Big Gig – this week revealing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and some retro rap icons.
On Saturday, June 24, Elvis Costello & The Imposters will take the grounds stage. The Big Gig show will mark the Grammy-winning, Oscar-nominated "Pump It Up" and "She" rocker's first show in Brew City since his tour-closing concert at the Miller High Life Theatre in late 2019.
Then, the following weekend on Thursday, June 29, throwback hip-hop act Cypress Hill – the three-time Grammy-nominated group behind "Insane in the Brain" and "I Ain't Goin' Out Like That – will take the BMO Pavilion stage.
Tickets to both newly announced BMO Pavilion shows will go on sale starting Friday, March 17, at 10 a.m. at Summerfest's website and Ticketmaster as well as in person at the Big Gig box office. As with all BMO Pavilion headliner shows, though, free general admission seats at the BMO Pavilion will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the days of the concerts. For more information, visit the Big Gig's website.

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.
