Nine Wednesday evenings. Nine concerts. One Hart Park stage.
Tosa Tonight has released its lineup of concerts for the 2026 summer season, the popular concert series' 26th year. It marks a return to the Rotary Stage at Hart Park, after the last concert of 2025 had to be moved to Wisconsin Avenue Park because of the severe flooding last August.
"We were disappointed with many weather cancellations in '25, but we didn't let that us set us back and are charging forth with another resounding display of global sonic talent in 2026," Tosa Tonight said in announcing the new lineup on social media.
This year's concerts are sponsored by Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin and Network Health Wisconsin.
The season kicks off June 17 and runs through Aug. 12. All concerts are free and start at 6 p.m. Wednesdays. They generally last about three hours. The audience is encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and pick a spot on the green in front of the stage. Outside food is allowed, but alcoholic beverages must be purchased from vendors on site.
"Tosa Tonight’s lineup is packed with incredible artists spanning a variety of genres — from rock to blues, folk to funk, and everything in between," the concert series says on its website. "Whether you’re looking for an upbeat dance party or a laid-back evening of smooth tunes, there’s something for everyone."
