Flashback at Mountain Dew stage
from: journalsentinel.com
by Dave Tianen
Summerfest's Mountain Dew Rock Stage is taking a mature turn this year with a lineup that includes such '70s and '80s stalwarts as Blue Oyster Cult, JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, Robin Trower and Jackyl.
The stage - which is fully titled the Mountain Dew Rock Stage with Miller Lite and 102.9 The Hog - will open with Blue Oyster Cult headlining at 11 p.m. June 29, after the opening night fireworks. A seminal metal band enshrined in Milwaukee history for 1980's infamous "Black and Blue Night" (a concert with Black Sabbath at the old Milwaukee Arena that turned into a mini-riot), Blue Oyster Cult actually began as a collaboration of two future rock critics nearly 40 years ago.
All of the other Rock Stage headliners will perform at 10 p.m. The headliner for July 3 is to be announced.
July 2: JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS. Jett came out of the classic girl punk band the RUNAWAYS and formed the BLACKHEARTS in New York City in 1981. Within a year the band released one of rock's signature anthems, "I Love Rock and Roll."
