Best Indie & Rock in Madison

Dawes at Majestic Theatre

Dawes

Through a tapestry of warm vocals and sun-soaked guitar hooks, Dawes have made a name for themselves for replicating the feel of the Lauren Canyon sound of the 70's. But far from being a copy, the quartet are something retro inspired, but with a chilled vibe straight out of the present. Enjoy some authentically vintage beats by Dawes in 2024!

Queens of the Stone Age at Breese Stevens Field

Queens of the Stone Age

Founded after the dissolution of frontman Josh Homme's first band Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age exploded out of the gates in the late 90s with the records Rated R and Songs for the Deaf. This year sees them hitting the road once again on the 'End Is Nero Tour' with their most recent album, 'In Times New Roman', where they'll be joined by The Struts as support on certain dates.

Josh Ritter at Barrymore Theatre

Josh Ritter

Named in 2006 as one of the 100 Greatest Living Songwriters, Josh Ritter's work is reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and has seen this exceptionally talented artist go from strength to strength since the release of his self-named first album in 1999. He has become an experienced touring artist, having performed internationally with Irish band The Frames, and scoring himself a huge word-of-mouth following in the process.
