Summerfest announced the bulk of its 2016 grounds stage headliners this morning, and in addition to the familiar festival regulars, there are quite a few rarer names on that list. Among them: country legends Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson; indie-rockers Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists and Peter Bjorn and John, alternative rockers Garbage, and rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot. Other big ones: Indigo Girls, Jason Derulo, The Violent Femmes and, tantalizingly, Beastie Boys legend Mike D, who will do a DJ set.
The complete list is below; stage placements and date and times will be announced later. This year's Sumemrfest runs June 29-July 10, with a day off on Monday, July 4.
