Please note: For now, this is a listing of events that Tone Madison is hosting—including our quarterly-ish Office Hours meetups and occasional shows and workshops. We do not currently produce a listing of events around town, though we would like to in the future. But we do still preview shows, screenings, and other events around town in our stories.

If you are looking for a good local events calendar, we strongly recommend visiting our friends at Madison Minutes.

Email editor@tonemadison.com; please include all of the acts involved in the event, date, venue, showtime, ticket information, and any other information you think we should know. Send this information at least three weeks before the date of the event. We try to give everything fair consideration, but we do not and cannot preview all events, and we do not run submitted promotional copy.
