Southwest Music Festival, hosted by the Platteville Regional Chamber, kicks off Platteville’s Hometown Festival Week each year in July. Live music is featured on the main stage which is placed right in the middle of our historic 2nd Street.  Feel free to bring your own lawn chair.  

New For 2023

We are expanding our day! We will now have 2 stages with 4 bands. Gates will open at 11 am and many Second Street area bars will be serving lunch. Check out the poster below for the band schedule.

Local acoustic cover band, Stolen Grace proudly, "plays a little bit of everything!" From classic rock, to country tunes, to modern pop favorites, Stolen Grace marks their sound with an unmatched Midwest flare! Born out of Dubuque, Iowa, the trio is comprised of University of Dubuque Alumni.

Donice Moace is a native of Vidor, Texas who found inspiration from the music of Keith Whitley, George Jones, and Conway Twitty. And while those country traditionalists helped shape his sound, it was two local country music heroes who gave Donice the blueprint to take his career to the professional level. Donice released his first album in 2017 which fetured "Good Hurt. Comin' On" and WD-40 and Duct Tape" that peaked at 15 on the Texas Regional Radio Report.

Platteville native, Jeremy Martens is a member of SONIC CIRCUS won the 2004, 2006 & 2009 Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award for BEST COVER BAND and was nominated again in 2010. Performing at Summerfest, Wisconsin State Fair, Rock USA, clubs, festivals, casinos and corporate functions all over the Midwest, SONIC CIRCUS is the Ultimate Party Xperience!
