Milwaukee’s biggest biker party is set to go off this July, and the event’s headlining musical acts were announced today. The annual Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival will be headlined by musical acts Chris Stapleton and Hank Williams Jr.
Attendees of the July 10-13 celebration of music and moto-culture can check out free events held around Milwaukee, including the Harley-Davidson Museum, H-D Headquarters on Juneau Ave., Harley-Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, and at local Harley-Davidson dealerships.
Admission to the lakefront Veterans Park for live music performances and other activities requires a ticket, with a choice of one- or two-day General Admission (GA), GA+, or VIP ticket options, but H-D hasn’t yet released prices. Ticket sales will kick off on January 17 with a presale at 9 a.m. CT, followed by a general on-sale at 10 a.m. CT. You can sign up for SMS alerts to gain presale early access to purchase tickets at the lowest price.
Hank Williams Jr. will perform on July 11, bringing his blend of country and southern rock music to Veterans Park. Son of the iconic Hank Williams Sr. and one of country music’s most influential figures, Hank Jr.’s career spans over 60 years and has made him one of the most enduring voices in country music. He’s sold 70 million albums worldwide and has earned accolades which include ACM Entertainer of the Year, CMA Entertainer of the Year, a Grammy win, and inductions into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Country Music Hall of Fame.
On Saturday, July 12, Chris Stapleton will headline the festival. The 10-time Grammy, 19-time CMA, and 19-time ACM Award-winner is one of the most respected and beloved country-flavored musicians. Stapleton’s latest album, Higher, was released a few months ago to critical acclaim, and he has recently collaborated with Dua Lipa, Slash (“Oh Well”) and George Strait (“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”), and recorded a version of “I Should Have Known It” for a Tom Petty tribute album.
H-D promises several additional top acts will perform at its Homecoming, with a full performance schedule to be announced at a later date. Complete details on ticketing options, venues, entertainment, events, and Harley-Davidson factory tours will be available at HDHomecoming.com, where visitors can sign up for event updates.
