The great Milwaukee summer is with us – and so is Summerfest, back where it belongs in under the gorgeous glare of June and July for one final 2022 weekend. 

This year's three-weekend format overall offers more than a week jam-packed with delicious food, good lakefront vibes, tremendous traditions, exciting activities, outstanding vendors and, of course, live music seemingly belting out of every nook and crook of the Summerfest grounds – from huge names to local favorites to the next big thing and everything in between. This final terrific Big Gig trifecta is headlined by the likes of Thomas Rhett, French Montana, Rick Springfield, Death Cab for Cutie – and that's just a small handful of the dozens of performers hitting the stage this weekend. 

To guide your way to living your fest self at the Big Gig, here's a full guide to the Summerfest's final set – from who's playing on what stage to how to score free admission. Now get out there and have a stellar Summerfest!
