Summerfest had a weak hip-hop showing last year, but it's stepping it up in a big way for the 50th.

Three hip-hop A-listers — Future, Big Sean and Migos — will perform at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater July 8.

Future has already released two albums one week apart this year — "Future" and "HNDRXX" — becoming the first artist to have two different No. 1 albums on the Billboard charts in consecutive weeks.

The Kanye West-groomed, seven-time BET Award-winner Big Sean also had a No. 1 album debut this year with February's "I Decided."

Migos — featuring Quavo, Offset and Takeoff — has been prolific since 2010, but the Atlanta group broke out in a big way with runaway single "Bad & Boujee," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 early this year. Its second official studio album, "Culture," also debuted at No. 1 in January.

Tickets are available beginning at noon April 21 at the Summerfest box office (200 N. Harbor Drive); Ticketmaster retail outlets; Wal-Mart stores in southeastern Wisconsin; at ticketmaster.com; or by calling (800) 745-3000, (866) 448-7849 or (414) 273-2600. Prices have yet to be announced but will include Summerfest general admission on July 8.

All but two amphitheater shows have been announced for Summerfest 50, running June 28 to July 2 and July 4 to 9.

They include the Red Hot Chili Peppers opening night; Luke Bryan with the Brothers Osborne June 29; Zac Brown Band July 1; Pink July 2; the Chainsmokers July 4; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Chris Stapleton July 5 and 6; and Dierks Bentley with Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi July 7. Milwaukee native and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller will also headline the BMO Harris Pavilion during the Big Gig. The date has yet to be announced.
