The Cactus Club, in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood, is unique because of its diverse musical lineup and open-minded philosophy. Each week, the Cactus Club has performers from different backgrounds who grace the stage. These performers play pop, rock, rap, indie, R&B, Americana, jazz, hardcore, punk, techno and so on. While every night at the club brings a new crowd, vibe and one-of-a-kind sound, you can always check back in on the artists who have played there on streaming platforms. Here’s a playlist full of just a few of the artists who have made their way to the Cactus Club! Check out this Spotify playlist and browse upcoming shows here.
