Today, Summerfest announced a familiar face would be taking the Marcus Amphitheater stage for this summer's Big Gig 50: Zac Brown Band, who will headline the festival on Saturday, July 1. 

The show will mark the country rockers' fourth visit to the Big Gig in the past six years, each time – most recently in 2015 – headlining at the Marcus Amp and each time cementing their status as a beloved Summerfest staple. The three-time Grammy-winning band will almost certainly bust out some of their signature hits, as well as some new ones off the group's upcoming new album, "Welcome Home," coming out May 12.

Tickets for the show – as always, complete with Summerfest admission – will go on sale beginning on Friday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Summerfest box office, Ticketmaster ticket centers and Walmart stores, as well as online at Ticketmaster.com and over the phone either through the Summerfest box office (414-273-2600), through a live Ticketmaster agent (1-800-745-3000) or through Ticketmaster's automated ticket line (1-866-448-7849).

There will also be a presale for fans who subscribe to Summerfest's email updates and alerts, as well as follow the festival on Facebook and Twitter, running on Thursday, Jan. 19 from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. or until the resale inventory is exhausted. 

Zac Brown Band is the latest addition to Summerfest's Marcus Amp headliner lineup, which currently also includes Pink, Red Hot Chili Peppers and two nights of Tom Petty.
