Jawbreaker Fest

Milwaukee’s downtown convention center the Wisconsin Center traditionally hasn’t been used as a concert space, though it’s certainly large enough to host some huge ones. This weekend, the venue will give the whole concert thing a go when it hosts Jawbreaker Fest, a two-day EDM festival on Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28. The concerts will take place in the Wisconsin Center’s third floor exhibition hall and have a capacity of 10,000 each night—well over twice the capacity of the Eagle’s Ballroom, the Milwaukee venue where these kinds of big EDM shows have historically been most likely to take place. Saturday’s lineup will feature EDM star Zedd—whose crossover hits include “Clarity,” “Stay The Night” and “Stay”—as well as GRiZ, Louis the Child, Parker, RCKT PWR and Crystal Knives. Sunday’s lineup features ODESZA, RL Grime, Slumberjack, Plaid Hawaii and Moses.
