Neil Young Summerfest 2015 Tickets and Information | Ticket King Inc.

Neil Young is coming to Summerfest 2015 on July 5. He’ll be backed by Promise Of The Real, a band that is quite a bit younger than Young. Where did Neil find this back up band? Considering that two of Willie Nelson’s sons are in the band might point us to where he found them. Summerfest 2015 is the first stop on the “Rebel Content” tour!

The tour is made up of just twelve dates, with it all starting in Milwaukee. The tour ends on July 24 at the WayHome Music and Art Festival in Ontario. Young will also be playing dates in Morrison, Clarkston, Camden, Wantach, and Mansfield.

Neil Young never stopped making music. He just stopped playing live shows from time to time. He enjoys his peace and quiet, preferring to stay on his “ranch” most of the time. He’s put out over forty albums, dating back to the late 1960’s. Coming out this May will be “A Letter Home.”

Stevie Wonder Summerfest June 27 Tickets | Ticket King Inc.

Stevie Wonder will be on tour in 2015, and playing his entire “Songs In The Key Of Life” album.

Wonder’s tour will include dates in April, and then more dates this summer. The Summerfest show date is set for June 27. Tickets for the Summerfest show are on sale as of this Saturday.

As most fans know, Stevie Wonder was a child prodigy, signed by Motown Records in the early 1960’s. That’s how he got the label “Little Stevie Wonder.” At that age, he needed help with songwriting, and production. He produced Tribute to Uncle Ray and The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie. During his early teen years, he struggled with a voice that was changing. He also spent some time working in the background for Motown, writing songs for other artists.

In 1968, Wonder’s popularity started to skyrocket. His co writer, Henry Cosby wrote songs such as My Cherie Amor, one song that became a hit when he reached the age of 20. In 1972, Stevie Wonder wrote “Superstition.” That song put Wonder back on the map. Four years later, Songs in the Key of Life was released. It was a massive effort on behalf of Wonder, and it was his crowning achievement. That double album will be the theme of the Summerfest show in June.

Rolling Stones Tickets Milwaukee June 23 | Ticket King Inc.

Speaking of, all ticket buyers will receive a free admission ticket to the festival, to be used at any time during the ten day run.

The Rolling Stones are calling it “The Zip Code” tour, and it’s the first time in nearly eight years that the group will be traveling the United States and performing in venues of this size.

Kendrick Lamar Plays Summerfest 2015 | Ticket King Inc.

Summerfest announced another headline show for 2015. It will be Kendrick Lamar at the Marcus Amphitheater on July 1. Lamar released his third album just this past week. It’s titled “To Pimp a Butterfly.” Kendrick won two Grammy’s this past February, and has firmly established himself as one of the best rappers in the country. His style comes off as cool, calm, and focused. Don’t let that style fool you, Lamar himself claims that he’s out to be the best. So far, most people who see him perform agree with that notion. Opening for Lamar will be “SchoolboyQ.”

From the start of his career, Kendrick Lamar had a focus. He felt that the current state of rap music was not good. He felt that the most popular rappers had gone soft. Lamar wanted to get back to what he felt was the best part of rap, the crafting of words into amazing lines. He takes no prisoners when it comes to competing with other rappers. It got so bad for those he went up against, that they soon left Lamar to work on his own. Nobody could compete at his level. Soon enough, he was signed to a record label, TDE to be exact. That was when Lamar worked under the name of K-Dot.

In 2012, Lamar released “good kid, m.A.A.d city.” Top Dawg entertainment pulled Lamar out of “indie label” obscurity, and Lamar was looking at a top 20 song on the rap charts by August of 2012. In just six short months since the release, Lamar’s album went gold. Summerfest is happy to have Kendrick Lamar as one of their headline acts in 2015.

Zac Brown Comes To Summerfest in 2015 | Ticket King Concert Update

Summerfest officials announced that the Zac Brown Band will return in 2015. The date is set for June 28, and Brown will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on that date. This is the second time that ZBB will headline at the “World’s Biggest Music Festival.” Zac Brown tickets are on sale now. As of this date, there is no opening act. We’ll be sure to update our blog, once we know who will be supporting the band on the road.

Zac Brown is set to release his fourth studio album this year. It’s titled “Jekyll + Hyde.” Fans will have to wait until late April to purchase their copy, but the track listing has been posted on various sites on the web. Brown gave his fans a taste of the new music, when he performed some of the songs during an NCAA football pre game, and on Saturday Night Live just this past weekend.

Packers Re-Sign Cobb | NFL Free Agent Moves 2015

Ticket King thought it might be nice to have our favorite sports writer take a moment to comment on one of pro football’s craziest times of the year. Free agent signings are in full swing. Here is “Tim’s take” on some of the highlights.

Well, it’s that strange time of the year in pro football. It’s the “NFL free agency” period, also known as a time in which teams throw money around like drunken sailors with no regard for common sense. The Packers made some headlines recently when they re-signed Randall Cobb to a four year, 40 million dollar contract. Apparently Cobb had more offers on the table but took less money to stay in Green Bay. So with information, we won’t call that a crazy move by either the Packers nor Randall Cobb. Let’s take a look at some other notable free agents and my prediction for their landing destinations.

Andre Johnson– The Texans released longtime fan favorite Andre Johnson. Even though he is old, he may still have something left in the tank. I believe he ends up in New England.

Reggie Wayne– The Colts decided recently to let the last piece from the Peyton Manning era, wide receiver Reggie Wayne, go, after 14 seasons. It is very likely Wayne elects to retire as he is coming off a major injury.

Brian Bulaga– This year’s market for offensive lineman is thin. Still, I expect Bulaga back in Green Bay.

Jeremy Maclin– This is another wide receiver who is an unrestricted free agent. He fits Chip Kelly’s system well. He returns to the Eagles.

Torrey Smith– The Ravens elected not to re-sign Torrey Smith, who was an integral part of their recent Super bowl run. Smith is a younger player who could sign a long term contract with the Colts, and develop a relationship with franchise quarterback Andrew Luck.

Julius Thomas– The Broncos elected not to re-sign one of Peyton Manning’s favorite targets. Thomas is likely headed to Jacksonville.

Bruce Carter– The Cowboys defense needs work. Still, he wasn’t the problem, and a return to Dallas is likely.

Darrell Revis– The Vikings need cornerbacks bad, and if they don’t add another one, they are going to continue to lose divisional games to the Lions and Packers. Revis ends up in Minnesota.
