About Lakefront Roadhouse
Lakefront Roadhouse sits along Milwaukee’s iconic lakefront at 1010 N Lincoln Memorial Dr, within Veterans Park’s edge. Historically an outdoor, flexible-configuration venue, it’s best known for high-profile Harley‑Davidson events in the late 2000s and performances by major acts such as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band and Foo Fighters in 2008. Today, the name appears on resale or ticket platforms, but there are no ongoing operations or scheduled events under the Lakefront Roadhouse brand. This page provides a comprehensive guide to the venue space, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you plan a visit or secure tickets through official channels when events are announced.
Venue notes: The Lakefront Roadhouse is historically an outdoor, flexible-capacity space. Capacity has varied from a few hundred up to over 1,000 attendees depending on stage setup and event. If you’re scouting Milwaukee’s lakefront for an upcoming show, keep an eye on official event calendars and affiliate ticket sources for any revival or branding changes tied to the Generac Power Stage lineage introduced in nearby Summerfest branding. For planning a trip, consider convenient transit options, parking strategies, and nearby hotels and restaurants to enhance your experience.
