The history of rock music in Milwaukee started at an age when some musicians played in a segregated a part of the city. On the same time, a young singer named Buddy Holly kicked off a tour that ended with a plane crash in Iowa 11 days later. The next years brought the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the remainder of the British Invasion. Within the late 1960s came acid rock, civil unrest, and Summerfest, a music festival that continues to this present day. Milwaukee has had its moments Within the spotlight: Bob Dylan left the stage after two songs in 1964, Bruce Springsteens 1975 concert was once delayed for hours even as police searched for a bomb Within the theater, hundreds of Black Sabbath fans rioted after a 1980 show, and the Plasmatics Wendy O. Williams was once beaten by police in 1981. And then there was once the helicopter crash by which blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn perished.
