Global Union

Sept. 25-26, Noon-5PM Humbolt Park

Global Union

Global Union needs your support! It's booked, and we could tell you who they are, but did you know who Dengue Fever, Rodrigo y Gabriela, 17 Hippies, Dobet Gnahore, and Mucca Pazza were before you saw them at Global Union? That's what I thought.

One thing's for certain -- with that kind of track record, we're feeling the heat to exceed your highest expectations. Because let's face it -- how many other times during the year does Milwaukee become the red hot epicenter of the universe?

As always, Global Union is a FREE festival and goes on rain or shine.
