Brat Days Past Headliners

Brat Days is not only known for its strong German Heritage and the worshipping of the “Bratwurst”. We have also brought in some national music acts for enjoyment of the masses. Back in 1988, the festival brought in its first national act - The Turtles and we haven’t looked back. Each and every year the festival tries to bring to Sheboygan the best musical acts that are available and affordable. Shown below is a list of all of the headliners that have been part of Brat Days over the years.
