R&B superstar SZA will headline Summerfest 2024, in her first-ever Milwaukee concert

Summerfest 2024 has filled the final slot in its headliner lineup for the American Family Insurance Amphitheater with possibly its biggest get this year.

The Milwaukee music festival announced Friday morning that R&B superstar SZA wiill headline the amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. June 22. Special guest Aminé will open the show.

One of the biggest current music acts who has not yet played Milwaukee, SZA is the ninth and final headliner announced for the Big Gig's biggest stage.

The booking is quite a coup — SZA is the premiere headliner at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August, where radius clauses in the past have sometimes prevented the same bookings at Summerfest.

The bookings follow a blockbuster 2023 that saw her 2022 album "SOS" land at No. 3 on the year-end Billboard Hot 200 chart. SZA also had two songs on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 chart for 2023 — "Kill Bill" at No. 3 and "Snooze" at No. 9. "Kill Bill" was the second-most streamed song on Spotify in Milwaukee last year.

And with SZA Summerfest-bound, the Big Gig will have a top-of-the-bill female headliner in the amphitheater this year.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. April 10 at Summerfest.com and Ticketmaster.com, and at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater box office, 200 N. Harbor Drive. Tickets include admission to Summerfest on June 22. Prices have yet to be announced.

Tickets are already on sale for the other eight American Family Insurance Amphitheater headliners during Summerfest 2024: Kane Brown with Kameron Marlowe and Nightly, June 20; Mötley Crüe with Seether and Buckcherry, June 21; Illenium, June 27; Tyler Childers with S.G.
