Rock. Milwaukee. QFM. They go together like kibbles and bits... and more bits. We loved the legendary 93QFM, so we brought it back online (even though it's tricky since they went through so many eras!) Great rock, ranging from crazy wild to just... chilled out... man. From AC/DC to ZZ Top with a variety in between that brings in hair bands, blues-rock bands, 80s and 90s alternative, some local bands like Bad Boy, and more. "Sunshine Radio" on weekend mornings, with more laid back stuff. Lots of music, with more planned. In the meantime, check this out and beat the crap out of your woofers and tweeters... or your earbuds. Because it is the 2020s, ferchrissakes.
We're lucky so many original QFM artists are still touring and rocking stages all over the region! Get out Q-Concerts updates here.
Summerfest will be open June 20-22, June 27-29, and July 4-6 this year, and along with your chance to win General Admission tickets from 93QFMRadio.com (coming soon!) there are plenty of ways you'll be able to get in for a reduced rate - or even free - as the festival announced their admission promotions for 2024.
Every Summerfest day features a special promotion. It should be noted that all exchanges (unless they state otherwise) will take place at the Mid Gate Promotions Booth located at the Mid Gate Plaza. Most admission promotions begin at noon and run while ticket supplies last or through mid-afternoon, whichever comes first, and are valid on the day of the promotion only.
Examples include Bush's Beans Stamp Out Hunger Day on Thursday, June 20th, where from Noon-3pm a donation of three shelf-stable food items gets you a FREE admission ticket for that day. Food donations will be accepted at all three gates and benefits Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.
Friday, June 21st is Shorewest Realtors Children's Fest Day, where everything arriving before 3pm gets in free. Saturday, June 22nd is Briggs & Stratton Mary Lou's Closet Supply Drive, where you can help support United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County’s Mary Lou’s Closet, a program providing needed hygiene supplies for youth in area public schools. The first 1,500 patrons who arrive between Noon and 3pm AND donate NEW socks, deodorant, and/or oral hygiene items (toothbrush and toothpaste) with a total minimum value of $10, will receive one FREE admission ticket for that day and time.
And that's just the first weekend.
Get all the details on Summerfest's Admission Promotions for all three weekends here, and we'll keep you updated on the daily as Summerfest arrives... and listen in the coming weeks for your chance to WIN TICKETS from QFM!

The original 93QFM fired up in 1974, right when everybody on TV seemed to live in Milwaukee as "Happy Days" debuted. It rocked the crap out of Milwaukee and southeastern Wisconsin until it died at the hands of people in 1996 who thought Smooth Jazz was a better idea. Things ain't been the same since.
We first did some playing around with bringing QFM back in an online sense back in 2014 but so much uncertainty was swirling around online radio's music licensing and royalty BS that we had to focus on our real jobs and lives for a while. By 2022, we were able to work it out with Live365 - the platform that allows us to be online AND take care of all that legal stuff -and get the station back how we'd like to do it. And we're ready to have some fun!
