Weezer, AFI, The Raveonettes, Rogue Wave and She & Him are just a few of the artists on the schedule to perform at the inaugural Verge Music Festival, scheduled for June 4 and 5 at the Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The festival name was chosen by a fan vote to become the name of the modern/alt-rock music festival. The name ‘Verge’ received 37 percent of the vote, just nudging past ‘Parallel, which collected 35 percent. ‘Diatonic’ came in third.
The winning name for the festival was suggested by Katie Kostuck.
Milwaukee World Festival Inc., which produces Summerfest and the new festival, will reveal a logo for the event shortly, plus an updated band lineup at the festival’s new website: vergemusicfestival.com.
Other bands scheduled to play include Crash Kings, Eagles of Death Metal, Cold War Kids, Nico Vega, Reni Lane, Jaill, The Championship, Figureheads, Geri X, Pezzettino, 1956, Red Knife Lottery, Invade Rome, Revision Text and Juniper Tar.
