MILWAUKEE -- R&B singer-songwriter The Weeknd will serve as one of the final headliners at Summerfest's American Family Insurance Amphitheater, the music festival announced Friday.
The Weeknd will perform on Saturday, July 7, with a special guest yet to be announced -- one day before Arcade Fire closes down the festival on Sunday.
"Starting off his career anonymously, The Weeknd first broke into the music scene with the 2011 mixtape House of Balloons. That was followed by the 2013 studio album Kiss Land and the widely recognized Beauty Behind the Madness, which earned him two GRAMMY Awards in 2015, an RIAA triple-platinum certification for cumulative sales in excess of 3 million, [and] 20 RIAA certifications," a news release from Summerfest says.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. CST at Summerfest.com and Ticketmaster.com and include admission to Summerfest.
