Summerfest in Milwaukee adds two new artists to replace former headliner Nessa Barrett
Summerfest in Milwaukee has added two artists to the lineup after pop singer Nessa Barrett dropped out of her headlining slot. Claire Rosinkranz and Sofia Camara — two emerging pop singers whose songs have found success on TikTok — will now perform at the Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard June 26, fest officials revealed June 12. Camara's set is at 8:45 p.m.; Rosinkranz will close out the stage at 10 p.m. Barrett had been booked to play the 10 p.m. slot on the stage June 26 but dropped out of the lineup June 6 due to "a scheduling conflict," according to a Facebook post on the Summerfest page. It's just one of the headliner shakeups that fest officials have had to work through as the Big Gig's opening day, June 19, approaches. On June 4, country-rock band Whiskey Myers announced it could no longer headline Summerfest's Miller Lite Oasis June 21 due to a family matter. Fest officials confirmed on Facebook the band will play Summerfest in 2026, with details to be announced. On June 12, a replacement for Whiskey Myers was revealed — rapper and singer (and University of Wisconsin-Madison alum) Yung Gravy, who has also dipped into country, including a collaboration with Shania Twain. Gravy is used to saving the day at Summerfest. In 2023, after headlining the festival's Generac Power Stage, he was recruited to lead a free show at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater after the previously lined-up fill-in, AJR, had to cancel because of illness in the family. AJR had been promoted to amphitheater headliner when Summerfest's first choice for the date, ailing pop legend Jimmy Buffett, pulled out. Also on June 12, Summerfest officials revealed on Facebook that hip-hop veterans Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony would no longer perform the Aurora Pavilion's primary headlining slot at 7 p.m. June 19 "due to unforeseen circumstances." The group has been replaced by rapper Bow Wow. It's the second headliner to drop out from a show on that Summerfest stage this year. In May, singer-songwriter Julien Baker canceled her summer tour including a June 27 co-headlining show with Torres. Torres was rebooked for a solo set on that stage earlier in the day, and Rubblebucket was added to the original Baker-Torres slot. Summerfest will take place at Maier Festival Park June 19 to 21, June 26 to 28 and July 3 to 5. Chris Foran of the Journal Sentinel contributed to this report.
