Summerfest presented by American Family Insurance is excited to announce that THE WEEKND, with special guest to be announced, will headline the American Family Insurance Amphitheater on Saturday, July 7, 2018.  This will be the first time The Weeknd has performed at Summerfest.

Starting off his career anonymously, The Weeknd first broke into the music scene with the 2011 mixtape House of Balloons. That was followed by the 2013 studio album Kiss Land and the widely recognized Beauty Behind the Madness, which earned him two GRAMMY Awards in 2015, an RIAA triple-platinum certification for cumulative sales in excess of 3 million, 20 RIAA certifications from tracks alone with “The Hills” (9x-platinum), “Can’t Feel My Face” (7x-platinum), “Often” (3x-platinum), “In The Night” (2x-platinum), and “Acquainted” (platinum). “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” (5x-platinum) even garnered his first ever Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song. In 2016, he released his fourth full-length album Starboy (2x-platinum), which quickly rose to No. 1 in 90 countries and broke the global streaming record all in less than one week. Starboy (2x-platinum) currently has 13 RIAA certifications with Starboy (5x-platinum), I Feel it Coming (3x-platinum), Reminder (platinum), Die For You (platinum) and Party Monster (platinum). The Weeknd recently wrapped his Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 World Tour.
