Foo Fighters will perform the grand opening concert at the newly renovated American Family Insurance Amphitheater on the Summerfest grounds, Milwaukee World Festival officials announced Tuesday.
The amphitheater, which was originally scheduled to be unveiled during Summerfest 2020, will now make its debut for the Foo Fighters show on July 30, ahead of Summerfest, which was moved back to September.
The venue underwent a $53.1 million upgrade that included expanding its concourses, all new seats, additional restrooms, new food and beverage options and accessibility enhancements. The first phase of the renovation – which included raising its roof by 26 feet to accommodate bigger shows – was unveiled at the 2019 festival.
