Carrie Underwood Returns to Summerfest in 2015

It was just announced recently that Carrie Underwood will be playing at Summerfest, and she will be headlining the Marcus Amphitheater on July 2 and 7:30 p.m. Underwood tickets for the Milwaukee show are available now.

Carrie Underwood is a country music singer originally from Muskogee, Oklahoma born March 10, 1983. Underwood, like many other modern music acts, got her start via American Idol, of which she was the winner in 2005. Since her performance on American Idol, Underwood's career has taken off like few others. She has won seven Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, 11 Academy of Country Music Awards, and 17 Billboard Music Awards.

Overall, Underwood has produced four studio albums to this point in her career. Her first album was Some Hearts, released in 2005. Some Hearts debuted at number one in the United States and sold nine million copies world-wide. Her second album, Carnival Ride, was released in 2007, and it did not quite have the success of the Some Hearts. Carnival Ride sold just over three million copies in the United States, compared to over seven million for Some Hearts. Her third album, Play On, released in 2009, has sold 2.2 million copies in the United States. Her most recent album, Blown Away, released in 2012, has sold 1.7 million copies in the United States to this point.

Carrie Underwood's performance this year at Summerfest will be her first live concert in over two years. The last time she performed a live concert was also here in Milwaukee, on May 3 2013. The reason as to why she disappeared is because she just had a first baby, Isaiah, born back in February.
