The first concert of Oshkosh Waterfest 2018 is just a month away, if you can believe it. This year’s lineup of 8, Thursday night shows at the Leach Amphitheater in Oshkosh, starts June 21st and continues throughout the summer with both big name and regional bands.

What do George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Loverboy, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scaggs have in common? They’ll all be in town this summer for the 2018 Oshkosh Waterfest Concert Series!

They’ll not be alone, either. 20 different artists/bands are promised for this year’s lineup, and what a collection! Each of this year’s run of shows will be headlined by a national act and include a mix of supporting acts, including both regional and national artists.

Oshkosh Waterfest is an annual series of concerts, held June through August, at Riverside Park and the Leach Amphitheatre in downtown Oshkosh. The concerts run the genre gamut from Jazz, R&B, and Blues to Pop, Rock, and Roots Music. Something for everyone, in other words, and all in a park-like setting on the Fox River.

The Leach Amphitheater gates open at 5:45pm for most shows this year and all will end by 11pm. Boaters and tailgaters who want to picnic before or during the shows are welcome to do so. Downtown Oshkosh also offers plenty of patios, restaurants, and bars for you to enjoy both before and after the shows. Come early, stay late, and make a full day of it!
