Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has a new music-centric offshoot called Jimmy Kimmel Live Music, which seeks to give fans access to new music via online streaming.

The site will offer exclusive coverage of Milwaukee’s SummerFest (June 28–July 2 & July 4–July 9), which features headliners Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Willie Nelson, Jason Isbell and Margo Price, as well as performers Dan + Shay, Frankie Ballard, Lee Brice, Locash, Lauren Alaina, High Valley, Blackberry Smoke, Jerrod Niemann, William Michael Morgan and others.

Additional headliners include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paul Simon, Pink, The Chainsmokers, Future, Bob Dylan and more.

Jimmy Kimmel Live Music will film acts over the 11 days of the festival and will stream a mix of live and recorded content for six hours each day on July 7, 8 and 9.

Given the days, there’s a possible chance of catching live performances from headliners Dierks Bentley (July 7), Willie Nelson (July 9), Jason Isbell (July 9) and Margo Price (July 9).

The content will also be syndicated to both SummerFest.com and the Jimmy Kimmel Live YouTube channel.
