Whether you like to cruise to country or jam to R&B, Wisconsin’s jam-packed calendar of 2025 concerts has something for you.
The new year is almost here, and you know what that means—lineups have been booked, and tickets are on sale for the biggest musical acts of 2025! Almost everyone knows Wisconsin for Summerfest in Milwaukee, (the biggest musical festival in the US), but many other great venues will host your favorite artists throughout the state.
While Summerfest offers a wide array of artists to enjoy, other festivals will have more genre-specific music, like Country Thunder (a four-day country music event), Rock Fest in Chippewa County, and Hog Fest (featuring the likes of Five Finger Death Punch). There’s even a Folk/American Roots music festival in Madison beginning in August. The point is, if you love music, Wisconsin’s musical scene has something for you!
No matter where you are in Wisconsin, you’ll find that iconic locations like Fiserv Forum, The Rave, and Festival Park in Milwaukee will be hosting some big names in 2025, like Jelly Roll, Justin Timberlake, Megan The Stallion, and many more. From country melodies to favorite R&B jams, we’ve gathered a few acts from every musical genre so you can get a head start on celebrating concert season in Wisconsin.
