Two clever acts that found fame and accolades in the '90s are teaming up for their first joint tour — which includes a stop in Milwaukee.
Ben Folds and Cake will co-headline the 5,000-seat BMO Harris Pavilion on the Summerfest grounds Aug. 23. Its the third post-Summerfest concert booked for Maier Festival Park, including a Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker double bill at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater Sept 1, and a Leon Bridges pavilion show Sept. 23.

Folds' big breakout was the heartbreaking 1998 ballad "Brick" with his former trio the Ben Folds Five, but he's also well known for his playful piano pop songs like "Rockin' the Suburbs." His latest album, "So There" in 2015, was a collaboration with chamber group yMusic.
Cake — best known for slightly sardonic, trumpet-seasoned rock songs like "The Distance," "Never There" and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" — hasn't released a studio album since 2011's "Showroom of Compassion," but a new one is expected later this year, and a new song or two will likely be performed at the Milwaukee show.
Tickets — priced between $35.50 and $75 — are available beginning at 10 a.m. Friday at the Summerfest box office (200 N. Harbor Drive), by calling (800) 745-3000, or visiting ticketmaster.com. Tall Heights will open.
