ROOSTERTAIL UPDATE
We know many of you have been waiting for an update following the cancellation of Saturday night at Roostertail 2026.
That night didn't go the way any of us wanted. We experienced generator issues that caused delays earlier in the evening. While those issues were ultimately resolved, storms and lightning moved into the area, and our local Emergency Management Director determined that it was not safe for the event to continue.
We've had a lot of time to reflect on that night, and we've learned a lot from that moment. There are things we can do better, things we will do differently, and lessons from 2026 that are already shaping how we're planning Roostertail 2027.
But we also know that doesn't change the fact that thousands of you bought tickets, came to Madison and were expecting a full night of music, including a headliner you never got the opportunity to see.
We haven't forgotten about that, and we want to give something back.
Eligible 2026 ticket purchasers will receive a 10% discount on 2027 tickets throughout the month of October. Details will be sent directly to the email address used to purchase your 2026 tickets.
Most importantly, thank you. Thank you for your patience, your understanding and for continuing to support Roostertail.
We believe some things deserve a second chance...
See you back at the river in 2027. 🤘🎶
