Live music is officially returning to Breese Stevens Field in 2016.
Promoters have announced two summer concerts at the renovated stadium, a national landmark which held a major concert for the first time last October when North Carolina-based folk-rock act the Avett Brothers sold out the venue.
Steve Miller Band will perform at Breese Stevens Field on Friday, July 1, with special guests Charlie Musselwhite and Leo Sidran. Miller is Milwaukee-born and attended UW-Madison in the early 1960s. His band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 8.
And Chicago rockers Wilco will return to Madison for a concert at Breese Stevens on Friday, Aug. 19, with special guests Kurt Vile & the Violators. Wilco’s last visit was a sold-out Overture Hall show in October 2011.
For both dates, general admission tickets are $45 and gold circle general admission tickets are $75. They go on sale on Friday, March 25 — Steve Miller Band at 10 a.m. and Wilco at 11 a.m.
The concerts are presented by Frank Productions, True Endeavors, Majestic Live and Breese Stevens Field. For more information, visit breesestevensfield.com.
