Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Summerfest announced that it will move the dates for this year's festival, previously scheduled for June 24 through July 5. The formerly 11-day Big Gig will now be a nine-day festival spread across three weekends, moving to Sept. 3-5, 10-12 and 17-19.

Don Smiley, president and CEO of Milwaukee World Festival Inc., made the announcement in a statement on Monday night. The release did not mention if any previously scheduled acts or groups have canceled their Big Gig appearances or moved their dates along with the festival.

"We know there will be many questions and we look forward to sharing details with you in the future," Smiley says, in the release. "All purchases of festival tickets will be honored for the rescheduled September dates. More information about rescheduled performances at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater and BMO Harris Pavilion will follow soon. Please check Summerfest.com frequently for updates."
