The 2024 Wisconsin State Fair has already revealed its complete lineup for the Main Stage – but as any veteran fair fanatic knows, while the Main Stage may be the event's biggest venue, it's just a small sampling of the massive amount of music rocking out across the grounds. 

Take, for instance, the Bank Five Nine Amphitheater – the largest free stage at the State Fair – which today announced its own lineup of outstanding entertainment during the late summer spectacular this August. The venue's 2024 lineup is, like the fair itself, filled with eclectic entertainment – from beloved familiar faces to rock classics to Irish music icons to undead mummies jamming out to competitive cream puff crushing to, of course, Pat McCurdy.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
