Over its 10 year run, Radio Milwaukee 88.9 has grown from a modest community station operating out of an unassuming stretch of a Milwaukee public studio to a major powerhouse with its own glamorous headquarters in Walker's Point. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, the station will host a free block party on Saturday, June 24 outside of its studio space at East Pittsburgh Avenue and South Barclay Street, featuring a host of local and national names.
The poetic Chicago rapper Noname—a Chance The Rapper collaborator who proved herself a star in her own right on her 2016 album Telefone—will headline, supported by indie rocker Stand of Oaks and Milwaukee folk-rock royalty Field Report. The event will also feature local food vendors, art installations and Milwaukee-themed games.
The complete tentative schedule is below.
• 3 p.m. - Abby Jeanne
• 4:15 p.m. - D'Amato
• 5:30 p.m. - REYNA
• 6:45 p.m. - Field Report
• 8 p.m. - Strand of Oaks
• 9:15 p.m. - Noname
