SHARE Kendrick Lamar, The Flaming Lips, Sheryl Crow to headline Milwaukee’s Summerfest

The “world’s largest music festival” announced quite possibly the world’s greatest music lineup Tuesday.

Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, The Flaming Lips, Sheryl Crow, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and Weird Al Yankovic all are among the headliners of Summerfest announced earlier today.

More than 800 bands will play the 11-day music festival, which runs June 24 to 28 and June 28 to July 5 on 11 different stages in Milwaukee. That also includes DJ Paris Hilton.

Nearly 900,000 people are expected to attend.

But we’ll see how long Summerfest’s title of “world’s greatest music lineup” holds: Lollapalooza will announce it’s 2015 lineup at 6 a.m. Wednesday.

For the full lineup, or to buy tickets, visit Summerfest.
