Despite what you may have read online or been told by fans of the increasingly popular EDM movement, rock and roll is not dead. At this point, we feel it’s safe to assume it will never die. Certain things come and go, but you need no more than 30 seconds at any rock concert around the world to know the heart of the genre will continue to beat strong until well after all of us are gone.

If you feel the way we do, then we hope you’re planning to attend Northern Invasion 2017 in Somerset, Wisconsin on May 13-14. We will be on site all weekend long, interviewing bands and rubbing shoulders with some of the most dedicated music fans from all corners of the globe. Tickets are on sale now.

For those who already have tickets, we know the decision over who to see can be the kindling flame that burns relationships and friendships to the ground. We don’t want you to stress while trying to rock, so we went ahead and put together the 10 sets you need to see in order to have the time of you life. These performances leave plenty of room to see other acts that might appeal to you, but even if you only see one of these groups you are guaranteed to have a good time. Not a one will disappoint and who knows? You might even find our team in the pit!
