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 October the venue will give the whole concert thing a go when it hosts Jawbreaker Fest, a two-day EDM festival on Halloween weekend, Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28.
Saturday’s lineup will feature EMD star Zedd, as well as Louis the Child, Parker, RCKT PWR and Crystal Knives. Sunday’s lineup features ODESZA, RL Grime, Slumberjack, Plaid Hawaii and Moses. Both nights begin at 7 p.m.
Advance two day passes are priced at $80-$115, and advance single day passes are $45-$60. Advanced VIP tickets are available for $150 and include a private dance platform, private restrooms and a private bar.
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.
