looks like i'll fly into milwaukee on july 1st and fly out july 8th this year. the summerfest lineup has yet to be announced (except the blowhards on the main stage), so i was wondering if anyone around there knows of any good concerts in milwaukee or madison around 07/02-07/07?

I haven't heard of any shows yet around that time, but check here for updates. So far the Rave site only goes through 6/04/05...

Between these three above and Summerfest, you could be busy. I can't speak at all for Madison though.

If you dont mind, or can drive to Chicago here is an awesome list:
