Here is from the Miwaukee Paper. Lips are sealed as respects the major act/acts on Sunday. FYI, the "free" tickets here went immediately. Each dealer in the metro Milwaukee area got 300. Those further out got as few as 50. Bet this becomes as much in demand as the enbtire anniversary ticket. Lots of regualr folks want into this deal.
Harley party lineup to be secret until lights go down

Harley-Davidson is keeping the biggest entertainers for its 100th anniversary weekend under wraps.
The lineup for the anniversary party, set for 2 p.m. Aug. 31 at Veterans Park, will not be released to the public until moments before the acts take the stage.
Late-night king and motorcycle enthusiast Jay Leno has made several references to attending the Harley hullabaloo on "The Tonight Show" over the past few years, but organizers are tight-lipped over whether the world's most famous chin will make an appearance.
Tickets for the Aug. 31 main event, billed by Harley-Davidson simply as The Party, are available for free from area Harley-Davidson dealers. Those who have already purchased a three-day admission pass for Anniversary Celebration events, available earlier in the year, can use the pass to gain access to the Aug. 31 festivities.
Dozens of other national and local acts have been confirmed for performances at both Veterans Park and the Maier Festival Park grounds Aug. 28-30. Billy Idol, the Doobie Brothers, Joan Jett and REO Speedwagon are scheduled, although organizers are still finalizing the lineup.
