2012 PrideFest Milwaukee: BERLIN Featuring Terri Nunn
Sunday, June 10, 2012
12:00 PM - 10:00 PM
12:00 PM - 10:00 PM
In 1987, Berlin was stealing hearts with "Take my Breath Away." Twenty-Five years later, that number stole the show on GLEE. And on Sunday, JUNE 10, they'll take your breath away on the Miller Main Stage!
For fans of electronic music – and the far-reaching wave of style and pop culture that followed in the wake of the 80s – Berlin vocalist Terri Nunn is an icon. As the charismatic vocalist for a band that virtually launched electronic dance rock in the U.S.
Terri earned the No. 11 spot on VH1’s list of the “100 Greatest Women in Rock.” With the release of Love Life in 1984, MTV’s burgeoning popularity generated nationwide exposure for Berlin through the memorable videos for “No More Words” and “Dancing in Berlin.” But the pivotal moment in the band’s career arrived when the romantic ballad “Take My Breath Away” – from their 1986 album, Count Three and Pray – was prominently featured in the major motion picture Top Gun. The song won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe in addition to achieving crossover success for Berlin.
PrideFest Milwaukee boasts over 150 bands and acts on 8 stages! Visit the Entertainment section to see our explosive lineup!
Ample parking is available both in privately operated lots and along city streets. Fees may vary. Vendors with booth spaces will receive directions to special unloading areas at the gates.
General admission tickets are $15 per day and are available at the Summerfest Will Call windows.
