Milwaukee's biggest "gig"

Summerfest will have Tom Petty on July 5th. They call it the Big Gig here in brew city. 900,000 people will pass through the gates over ten days. Summerfest features local cover bands and touring acts. They don't have Comedy Sportz anymore because that would be too kid friendly. The Cascio music stage, next to the Marcus Amphitheater, is going to the higest bidder this year. I suspect that we will see some crap-tastic cover bands night after night on that stage now. I long for the days when you could see original musical bands in the afternoon at Summerfest. Those were the days my friend.
