Live from the Wonderground

Live from the Wonderground is a first-Friday summer concert series that brings music, dancing, food, and drinks for all ages to downtown Madison’s most creative playground, the Wonderground. Thanks for a wonderful 2024 season—see you again on May 2, 2025!

This free concert series takes place every first Friday of the summer season, from 5 to 8 pm, with bands performing two sets from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. In between sets, “A Drop in the Bucket” features a unique mini-set performed in the Wonderground’s Giant Bucket.

Admission for Live from the Wonderground is free! You may choose to provide a donation at the door, no entry fee is required. Proceeds benefit the work of Madison Children’s Museum and allow us to bring more accessible programming to our community. All tickets are at the door, no advance registration.

Kids are welcome at Live from the Wonderground, but not required! Enjoy a cash bar with grown-up beverages and non-alcoholic options, and munch on crowd-favorite snacks available for purchase.
