There's music all over Milwaukee – with even more to come thanks to all the new potential venues coming in the near future. It's music to our ears – but it can be murder to one's mind to try and keep track of who's playing when where, only to find out that you just missed your new favorite band two nights ago.

To make sure live show FOMO doesn't happen to you, here's a guide to concerts coming to Milwaukee this month – from the city's biggest venues to its smaller gems, from huge stadium acts to intimate sets, from famous faces to unknowns on the way there, from ear-rattling rock shows to mind-massaging classical performances. In December's case, Brew City has a ton of music and entertainment wrapped up and under the tree for you – whether it's local music favorites, rockers including the Black Keys, comedy icons like Jerry Seinfeld, special screenings of big screen icons ("Christmas Vacation," "Say Anything") with some of their stars in tow and, would you look at that, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas with holiday shows and beloved seasonal concerts coming down the chimney.

Sound good? Well, that's just the opening act: Here's the full setlist of concerts coming to Brew City stages in December. (For more on specific show times, tickets and additional info, visit the venues' respective websites linked in each listing.)
