WMSE 91.7FM announced earlier today that Bob Mould Band will headline its annual Backyard BBQ concert event on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Humboldt Park in Bayview.
"Bob Mould is a pioneer and a genius. He influenced Nirvana, the Pixies, Green Day and the Foo Fighters. I couldn’t be more proud that he has agreed to play the Backyard BBQ this year," says Station Manager Tom Crawford.
Since 2010, WMSE has hosted the Backyard BBQ, a free music festival that serves as a thank-you to listeners, supporters and the community.
Here's the entire line-up for the day, from opener to closer:
- WMSE DJs
- Chicken Wire Empire
- Girls Rock Milwaukee
- Telethon
- Esso
- Bob Mould Band
“This incredible lineup reflects how much we love our community. I know it’ll be a memorable day,” says Music Director Sid McCain.
The Backyard BBQ also provides food trucks, family-friendly activities and local craft beer. In addition to Lakefront Brewery, the Backyard BBQ is made possible thanks to the support of sponsors including Brady Street Futon, Direct Supply, Milwaukee County Parks and MSOE.
“WMSE has been on the air for more than 40 years. We owe our listeners, supporters and the city of Milwaukee heaps of gratitude, which is why we had to go big this year,” said Crawford.
