Are you gearing up for the Homecoming bash at H-D headquarters in Milwaukee this summer? If you are, here's the scoop: the musical lineup has been mostly unveiled, and tickets are hitting the shelves this week.
Last year, Harley-Davidson marked its 120th year in business with a unique Homecoming event. Enthusiasts from across North America rode back to where their bikes were born, in Milwaukee, for a weekend of revelry. They mingled with fellow Harley fans, explored local dealerships, and enjoyed various activities at Veterans Park and other spots, including riding demos, stunt performances, delicious eats, and, of course, live music.
The highlight of last year's festivities was a rockin' concert featuring the Foo Fighters, Green Day, and more. This time around, the tradition continues with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jelly Roll, and HARDY headlining the event. Plus, a slew of other artists is set to take the stage. The PR teases, "In addition…," mentioning performances by Warren Zeiders, Priscilla Block, Hueston, Shaylen on Friday, July 26th, and The Offspring, Cypress Hill, Destroy Boys, Otoboke Beaver, and Irontom on Saturday, July 27th. The full lineup will be announced later. All activities are family-friendly and open to all fans.
This year, there's also a special tribute planned for the legendary Willie G., honoring his remarkable contributions to the brand. As the son and grandson of Harley-Davidson icons, Willie G. Davidson's legacy looms large. He spent 49 years at the company, serving as Chief Styling Officer until his retirement in 2012.
Mark your calendars for July 26-27 for Homecoming. While many events are free, some require tickets. Sales kick off on January 18, so stay tuned to HDHomecoming.com for updates.
