The first lineup announcement has been made for this year’s return of the ‘Milwaukee Metalfest‘. Newly returning after being purchased by Hatebreed, etc. frontman Jamey Jasta, that festival originally ran from 1987 through to 2004. The Rave/Eagles Club will host this year’s event, which will run from May 26th through to 28th.
Jasta commented:
“The infamous Milwaukee Metal Fest created so many memories, hosted legendary bands, and gave up and comers something to aspire to. Memorial Day Weekend 2023 (May 26, 27, and 28) — it returns with a stacked line up and a new lease on life. I cannot wait to see all the bands and hang with everyone in Milwaukee.
I’m so grateful for [booking agent] Tim Borror and the Sound Talent Crew; and Leslie, Joe, and everyone at The Rave/Eagles for helping us put this event together. Milwaukee Metal Fest is back! See you in Wisconsin this May!”
