Some headliners – The Fray and Kip Moore, for instance – have not been scheduled yet, so stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for more updates on how the rest of the Big Gig lineup will fill out, as well as which stages each act will perform at. In the meantime, bicker about whether this is the best and/or worst Summerfest lineup of all time in the comments!
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.
