I'm off next month to Summerfest which is the 'World's largest music festival'- 11 days, 12 stages and 800 bands. Variety of different musical styles but I'm seeing the John Mellancamp/john Fogerty show. Plus general admission is only 12 dollars a day and the likes of Whitesnake, Styx, Night Ranger, John Waite and 38 Special are all playing on different days.

Has anyone ever been to this festival before? What's it like and any tips? I'm hoping they give bands a decent set time- those admission prices seem too goo to be true.

The week after its off to Chicago where Asia, journey and Foreigner are playing in successive nights!
