Wisconsin To Host 'Summer of '99 And Beyond' Festival In 2025

One Wisconsin city is going to be the destination for lovers of post-grunge alternative rock music this summer as a music festival comes to the state.

The late-1990s/early-2000s rock band Creed is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, reunited with their lead singer Scott Stapp, and getting ready for their 2025 "Summer of '99" Tour.

While this summer's tour includes multiple stops around the country with supporting acts 3 Doors Down and Mammoth WVH, they just announced a two-day festival in Wisconsin that will boast way more acts for fans of that era's rock music.

Another act enjoying a resurgence in popularity and also on the road this year is Nickelback, who is joining forces with Creed as the other headliner of this massive two-day festival.

Here's what you need to know about the freshly-announced 'Summer of '99 And Beyond' Festival in Wisconsin.

When and where is the 'Summer of '99 And Beyond' Festival?

This two-day festival will be happening at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, which is about 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee. This is the second year of the festival, which was held last year in California.

The huge open-air Wisconsin music venue will host the festival on Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 19, 2025.
