From a press release issued by Harley-Davidson:

-- Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Daughtry, Black Crowes, ZZ Top, Buddy Guy and More to Perform During the Motor Company’s 105th Anniversary --

MILWAUKEE (January 21, 2008) – Harley-Davidson’s 105th Anniversary Celebration in late August is shaping up as the music event of 2008 with today’s announcement that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, along with Billboard 200’s top-selling artist Daughtry, will headline separate concerts over the course of the four-day event in Milwaukee.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform a concert on Saturday evening, August 30, at a venue Harley-Davidson has dubbed Roadhouse at the Lakefront, located just north of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Daughtry, who burst onto the music scene in 2006 to become today’s hottest-selling artist, will perform at the Summerfest grounds, also on Saturday evening, August 30.

Springsteen and Daughtry headline the entertainment line-up for Harley-Davidson’s 105th Anniversary, with additional acts including Los Lonely Boys, Black Crowes, ZZ Top, Peter Frampton and Buddy Guy. These artists, along with Daughtry and others will perform during two days of entertainment and activities at the Summerfest grounds on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30, 2008.

“Our 105th Anniversary entertainment line-up is second to none and really epitomizes the diversity of the Harley-Davidson family and experiences,” said Joanne Bischmann, vice president, Licensing and Special Events. “We’re very excited to welcome home our extended family to Milwaukee as we celebrate the future of Harley-Davidson.”

The complete entertainment line-up for the August 29-30, 105th Anniversary Celebration at the Summerfest grounds includes:

The Black Crowes
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Blind Melon
Blue Oyster Cult
Buddy Guy
Cameo
The Crave
Daughtry
Dierks Bentley
Dr. John
Gary Allan
Foghat
Peter Frampton

That's a great list of performers there. My Mom and I are also big fans of Springsteen and who doesn't love ZZ Top and War etc? I wish I could be there to see LLB jam out, this will be great exposure for them, especially with the new CD coming out. :)
