Chris Stapleton, Hank Williams Jr. & More… Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival Might Have The Best Country Music Lineup All Year

What would you say if I told you the best country music festival lineup of the year was going down in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a Harley Davidson festival?

Here’s the proof…

Harley-Davidson, the iconic American motorcycle giant, is hosting their annual Harley-Davidson Homecoming® Festival on July 10-13th this year, featuring live performances from some of country music’s finest at Veterans Park on the Milwaukee lakefront. The ticketed shows are on Friday and Saturday of the 4-day event, and will feature headliners Chris Stapleton (July 12th) and Hank Williams Jr. (July 11th) with support from Turnpike Troubadours, Treaty Oak Revival, Sierra Ferrell, Charles Wesley Godwin, 40 Winchester, Ole 60, The Droptines, Giovannie and the Hired Guns, Kendall Marvel, Jason Momoa’s band, ÖOF TATATÁ, Bones Owens, Liam St. John, Hogslop String Band, Dalton Davis, Rob Langdon, and Sons of Habit across 2 different stages.

Like I said… it’s absolutely STACKED. Pound for pound I’m not sure there is a better country music lineup all year.

In addition to music, the festival will feature Monster Energy Freestyle Motocross Shows with pro riders Axell Hodges and Takayuki Higashino, flash tattooing by famed artist Luke Wessman, a beer hall, carnival games, a chainsaw woodcarving exhibition, a custom Bike Build-Off Reveal by Unknown Industries, with live pinstriping from Taylor Schultz, and more.

The Harley-Davidson Museum will host the Official Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival Kickoff Party and Military Appreciation Day on Thursday, July 10, featuring live music performances headlined by rock band Buckcherry, as well as custom bike shows, stunt shows, and a range of additional experiences and entertainment provided by Harley-Davidson festival partners. Close out the festival on Sunday, July 13 with a Roll Out Brunch & Ride-In Custom Bike Show.

Dubbed “an annual celebration of music, moto-culture, and our hometown, Milwaukee,” Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival events will be held at both free and ticketed venues across the Milwaukee area, including Veterans Park, the Harley-Davidson Museum, H-D Headquarters on Juneau Ave., Harley-Davidson Powertrain Operations in Menomonee Falls, and at local Harley-Davidson dealerships.

And make no mistake, the festival is not just for motorcycle owners… the event is designed for riders, enthusiasts, and fans from around the world. You can expect activities and entertainment that are moto-culture inspired, local food and beverage, epic musical acts, and unique H-D Homecoming Festival merchandise. All activities are being curated to be for riders and non-riders alike, so even if you don’t own a Harley, come and check out some good music, good food, and good times with good people.

Admission to Veterans Park for live music performances and other activities requires a ticket. 2-day and single-day tickets are available, as well as various add-on experiences, all of which you can purchase HERE. There are also flexible “pay at your own pace” payment options as well as opportunities to bundle and save up to $60 a ticket with GA 2-pack or 4-pack bundles. GOVX & Student Discounts are also available on 2-Day General Admission Tickets.
