MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Summerfest is adding a second show with Garth Brooks to the 2026 event, due to overwhelming demand.

Festival organizers had already announced that Brooks would headline the first night of the music festival on June 17, 2026. Now, Brooks will also play a show on June 16, 2026 -- the night before Summerfest begins.

Both concerts will be at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

Tickets for both shows go on sale on Friday, September 12 at 10 a.m. Each ticket will also include one complimentary general admission ticket to Summerfest 2026 which can be used on any day of the festival.
