Chris Stapleton + Alabama Shakes seems like an interesting combo.

What a crazy combination of artist. And how do they get away with the 11 day power pass only being $80?

You can't do any of the arena shows with it, but yeah, still wildly cheap.

I went to Summerfest in 2011 and I've got to say I was not impressed. I went to see the Flaming Lips and the crowd sucked and the stage setup was dumb. I remember there being metal bleachers lined up all along the back end of the viewing area. Of course, everyone stood up on those, so you couldn't see jack unless you were up at the front in front of those bleachers. Not sure if all of the stages were set up like that. And I cannot remember a single other artist I saw there, so overall, I must not have had a great time.

But there are some good things going on in this line up...

Oh that is how they get you. I was wondering what the catch was.
