The 2025 Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival just became a must-see event. After initially announcing country heavyweights Chris Stapleton and Hank Williams Jr. as headliners, the festival sparked curiosity with its potential to go either mainstream or independent. Would Milwaukee, Wisconsin—Harley-Davidson’s hometown—host a lineup of familiar, safe choices, or would they tap into the pulse of modern country?
The answer is now clear: the latter. The second wave of talent includes a stellar roster of rising stars, including the Turnpike Troubadours, Charles Wesley Godwin, Sierra Ferrell, Treaty Oak Revival, 49 Winchester, Ole 60, The Droptines, and Kendell Marvel. This diverse lineup is a who’s who of emerging country and Southern rock artists, signaling that the curators know their audience and are staying true to the evolving country music scene.
While fans already know the likes of Turnpike Troubadours and Sierra Ferrell, the inclusion of lesser-known but critically acclaimed acts like The Droptines shows a deep understanding of the genre’s current landscape.
Taking place from July 10-13 in Veteran’s Park, Milwaukee, the festival will feature additional events at the Harley-Davidson Museum and Headquarters, including free events. Presale tickets are available starting at 9 a.m. Central, with public sales opening at 10 a.m.
This is shaping up to be a festival that’s as much about discovering new talent as it is celebrating legendary acts. Don’t miss out—this is one event that promises to deliver.
