*Rating system: 1-10 10 being the highest score (Relevance + Rareness + Performance = Overall Score.) The Rolling Stones. All the points the bands or artists accumulate form a total score for that day-the higher the score, the better the day. Six bands from each day (the Marcus Amphitheater headliner, the three highest rated Ground Stage headliners, the highest rated opening act, and the highest rated local band) are graded on a metric* of Relevance ( release an album recently and/or considered in prime form?), Rareness ( play out often?) and Performance ( good live band?). So in order to get the most out of the year’s Summerfest, Music Notes has compiled a scientific ranking of worst-to-best days to attend the Big Gig. But most important of all is the lineup.Ī particularly good night of music helps to mask any grievances about the festival, while a bad night only inflames them. Weather plays an important role-remember last year when nature screwed us with rain and cold?-and crowd size should be taken into consideration, for sure, unless you don’t mind impossible sight lines and getting bumped off the bleachers incessantly. I don’t know how I made it out alive.īut Summerfest can be really fun under the right circumstances. You’ll feel like a wreck after three and start to notice your body breaking down by day five. Don’t believe me? Try going to all 11 days, or, heck, even six out of seven straight days. Just like no well-adjusted adult can stomach binge-watching all eight seasons of HBO’s Entourage, the only way to enjoy Summerfest is in small, “E.”-sized doses.
