When Summerfest announced its full lineup last month, there was still a mysterious blurred-out space for its last remaining Amp headliner. Well, it's mysterious no more, as the Big Gig announced its final headlining act for 2024: SZA, who will take the festival's biggest stage during the first weekend on Saturday, June 22.
The "Kill Bill" and "Snooze" hitmaker – as well as four-time Grammy winner, claiming three this past February plus an Album, Record and Song of the Year nominations – will be joined at her Summerfest stop by opening act Amine of "Caroline" and "REEL IT IN" fame.
And with today's announcement, the Summerfest Amp headliner slate for 2024 is all assembled. Here are all the acts headed to the Big Gig's biggest stage:
- Thursday, June 20 – Kane Brown

- Friday, June 28 – Keith Urban
- Saturday, June 29 – Illenium

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
