Wisconsin’s Biggest Venue Snags Iconic Band’s Return

Since Wisconsin’s biggest venue reopened for concerts, the lineup has been nothing short of spectacular. Now, it looks like the streak of blockbuster shows will continue into next year.

For nearly 30 years, Camp Randall Stadium in Madison didn’t allow concerts. The University cited several reasons from logistical challenges to facility concerns, but growing demand and the need for new revenue sources convinced administrators to rethink that stance.

That decision paid off. In 2024, Camp Randall hosted its first concerts since 1997 with Morgan Wallen performing June 28 and 29, followed by Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres World Tour” on July 19. Every one of those shows sold out, proving Wisconsin fans were hungry for live music under the lights.
