2/19/26: Summerfest: Who Is This Lineup Really For?

Kyle spent the majority of today’s show breaking down the Summerfest lineup — and asking the real question: who is this festival being programmed for? After last year’s issues, does this year’s booking signal a deliberate shift away from acts that attract Black youth in Milwaukee? Kyle challenged Truth Nation to weigh in on whether the lineup reflects the city’s diversity, and many callers made it clear — they’re not impressed. The conversation also turned to a deeper concern: do local teens even care about losing cultural staples, or are we watching the city slowly disengage its youth? If you care about culture, community, and who gets represented in Milwaukee’s biggest festival, this episode is for you.
