Nas, Umphrey’s McGee, Black Star, Big Gigantic, & Pretty Lights are headlining this year’s inaugural Summer Set. A three day camping and music festival hosted in Somerset, Wisconsin (population 2,653). The festival has a semi-traditional layout with a Main stage, Second Stage, and then a 3,000 capacity DJ/dance stage inside a hockey rink. Buy your tickets then pack your tent and sunglasses for August 24, 25 and 26! Besides the obvious must see featured performers we have supplied you with our six picks and tips for surviving a three day outdoor jamfest.

TIPS
1. EARLY GEMS: It’s important to know your lineup. Don’t make it summer school homework, but be aware. Early shows are the best way to get that discovery feeling. Two acts that stand out: RJD2 w/ Break Science and Tea Leaf Green. RJD2 is a rare talent with his unique beat making ability. Friday at 3 you can get your day started with powerful loops and jocking. Tea Leaf Green is sure to brighten up your day. Their piano (Grateful Dead) rocks. We could give you multiple reasons, but let’s just give you “One Reason”. Build your lineup: do your research on every band then print off a physical copy of your custom lineup.
2. SWIM GEAR: Pack your sun lotion, swimming trunks, and thongs…a lazy river borders the festival!
3. COMFORTABLE SHOES: Toms and Vans are great, but in the case of rain pack your old tennis shoes or boots.
4. WATER: Drink plenty of non-alcoholic beverages to keep hydrated. Three days of dancing will take a toll on your body. Energy is something that you will need throughout the festival. Don’t be that person passed out under the medic tent.
5. BUDGET: Festival food is never cheap, but always delicious. Bring enough cash for at least 2 meals a day and avoid ATM fees.
6. FAN: Bring a battery powered fan to stay cool at night.
