Summerfest Shows for 2009

It's a country theme for Summerfest this year. There are three bonafide country acts scheduled at The Marcus Amphitheater. Along with that, we have a southern rock show featuring Kid Rock. Other bands coming include Chicago, Earth, Wind, and Fire, No Doubt, The Fray, and Bon Jovi. At the time of this post, I see two more spots that have yet to be filled.

Will the Milwaukee fans come out to see country show after country show? I don't think so. The side stages have yet to be scheduled. Speaking of side stage, one would think that Earth, Wind, and Fire should occupy a side stage, instead of the Marcus Amphitheater. Cheap Trick had the biggest side stage crowd I had ever seen last year. Should they be worthy of the same treatment?
