Chill on the Hill
Chill on the Hill
Milwaukee County offers free live music in its parks most nights of the week during the summer, but for Bay View residents one outdoor music series looms above them all: Chill on The Hill, the neighborhood's weekly Tuesday night concert series at the Humboldt Park Bandshell. Today WMSE announced the lineup for 2018's Chill on The Hill, and it's characteristically stacked, filled with performances from some of the Milwaukee music scene's heavy hitters (Lex Allen, Surgeons in Heat and Zach Pietrini among them) as well as a bunch of inspired bookings you might not have expected (including Mortgage Freeman, Telethon and Xposed 4Heads).
This year's lineup also features a performance from the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra on July 3, and a one-off Friday installment on June 22 spotlighting young local talent.
