What if I told you that the most incredible country music festival lineup of the year is happening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during a Harley Davidson event?
Here’s the evidence…
Harley-Davidson, the legendary American motorcycle brand, is hosting the annual Harley-Davidson Homecoming® Festival from July 10-13 this year. It features live performances from some of the best in country music at Veterans Park on the Milwaukee lakefront. The ticketed concerts will take place on Friday and Saturday of the four-day event, headlined by Chris Stapleton (July 12th) and Hank Williams Jr. (July 11th), supported by artists including Turnpike Troubadours, Treaty Oak Revival, Sierra Ferrell, Charles Wesley Godwin, 40 Winchester, Ole 60, The Droptines, Giovannie and the Hired Guns, Kendall Marvel, Jason Momoa’s band, ÖOF TATATÁ, Bones Owens, Liam St. John, Hogslop String Band, Dalton Davis, Rob Langdon, and Sons of Habit across two stages.
As I mentioned, it’s incredibly STACKED. It’s hard to believe there could be a better country music lineup all year round.
Beyond the music, the festival will also feature Monster Energy Freestyle Motocross Shows with pro riders Axell Hodges and Takayuki Higashino, flash tattooing by renowned artist Luke Wessman, a beer hall, carnival games, a chainsaw woodcarving exhibit, and a custom Bike Build-Off Reveal by Unknown Industries, complete with live pinstriping from Taylor Schultz.
The Harley-Davidson Museum will kick off the Official Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival and celebrate Military Appreciation Day on Thursday, July 10, with live performances headlined by rock band Buckcherry, plus custom bike displays, stunt shows, and a variety of other exciting activities provided by festival partners. End the festival on Sunday, July 13, with a Roll Out Brunch & Ride-In Custom Bike Show.
Dubbed “an annual celebration of music, moto-culture, and our beloved Milwaukee,” the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival will feature both free and ticketed events across the Milwaukee area, including Veterans Park, the Harley-Davidson Museum, H-D Headquarters on Juneau Ave., Harley-Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, and various local Harley-Davidson dealerships.
And make no mistake, the festival is open to all—whether you own a motorcycle or not… this event aims to engage riders, enthusiasts, and fans from around the globe. Expect moto-culture-inspired activities, local food and drinks, amazing musical acts, and exclusive H-D Homecoming Festival merchandise. The programs are designed for everyone, so even if you’re not a Harley owner, come join for fantastic music, delicious food, and great times with wonderful people.
