From Travis Scott to Jerry Seinfeld, 10 top Milwaukee shows through January 2024

9. DannyLux: While we wait for Peso Pluma to finally play a twice-postponed Fiserv Forum show, Milwaukee will continue hosting a new wave of regional Mexican artists. DannyLux is among the most promising; his sleek and modern approach to a traditional sound earned him an invite to premiere festival Coachella at just 19 years old. 8 p.m. Dec. 2, the Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. $35 at the box office and therave.com.

8. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Armchair Boogie and Dead Horses: There’s no shortage of concert and comedy options for ringing in 2024 in Milwaukee, but in our opinion this one’s the one to check out, with three of the most accomplished Wisconsin-based Americana acts joining forces on one stage. 9 p.m. Dec. 31, Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells St. $29.50 to $150 at the box office and pabsttheater.org.

7. Train: Eleven years after their last Milwaukee show as a Summerfest amphitheater headliner, Train finally returns to town for an acoustic set in a more intimate setting. The Goo Goo Dolls’ Johnny Rzenik and Phillip Phillips round out an all-acoustic bill for the so called “Deck the Hall Ball,” organized by WMYX-FM (99.1). 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8, Miller High Life Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. $54.75 to $205 at the door, the Pabst Theater box office (144 E. Wells St.) and pabsttheater.org.

6. Lovejoy: It’s fair to say that frontman Wilbur Soot’s popularity as a Twitch streamer and YouTuber drew major attention to his rock band. But seeing Lovejoy play a sold-out Riverside Theater in May, at that point for their biggest audience to date, showed their success is justified, with fun songs drawing from fellow British rockers like Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party. 8 p.m. Dec. 7, Eagles Ballroom, the Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. $47 at the box office and therave.com.

5. Travis Scott: It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when major hip-hop arena tours skipped Milwaukee year after year, until Travis Scott booked a Fiserv Forum show in early 2019. That show's success led to scores of major rap acts coming to town, and Scott himself is coming back for a newly added tour stop. 8 p.m. Jan. 17, Fiserv Forum, 1111 N. Phillips Ave. $56.50 to $747 at the box office and fiservforum.com.

4. Turnpike Troubadours: We're once again in the midst of a major Americana revival, as packed Milwaukee shows for Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers and Noah Kahan have made abundantly clear. Turnpike Troubadours are likely to reach their scale, so see them now when there's plenty of seats for their first Milwaukee arena show. 7 p.m. Dec. 15, Fiserv Forum, 1111 N. Phillips Ave. $64 to $221 at the box office and fiservforum.com.

3. Jerry Seinfeld: After the sitcom classic bearing his name came to an end, Jerry Seinfeld spent much of his working time hitting stages for stand-up acts - although for years in Milwaukee he barely changed his act. Not the case this time out, with Seinfeld promising a new show for his return to town. 7 p.m. Dec. 16, Miller High Life Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. $65.25 to $700 at the door, the Pabst Theater box office (144 E. Wells St.) and pabsttheater.org.

2. John Mulaney: The stand-up ace offered his most personal (and possibly most hilarious) set to date, chronicling his drug addiction, intervention and rehab for what would be this year's Netflix comedy special "Baby J," a set he also performed at Fiserv Forum last year. Don't be surprised if he tries out new material during his Milwaukee return at a smaller venue. 7 p.m. Jan. 11, Miller High Life Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. $49.50 to $500 at the door, the Pabst Theater box office (144 E. Wells St.) and pabsttheater.org.
