About the Kohl Center

The Kohl Center sits on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus at 601 West Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53703. Opened in 1998 and named for former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, the arena is home to the Wisconsin Badgers men’s and women’s basketball and men’s hockey programs. With a concert capacity of approximately 17,000, its cantilevered upper deck brings fans closer to the action than traditional arena designs, creating an atmosphere that’s loud, intimate, and electric — perfect for a band that thrives on crowd energy.

The Kohl Center has hosted major touring acts alongside its storied athletic events. Its location on the UW campus places it within walking distance of State Street, the Memorial Union Terrace, and the vibrant downtown Madison dining and nightlife scene. The arena features modern sound and lighting systems, wide concourses, and accessible seating on all 100-level platforms. A Dale Chihuly glass sculpture, Mendota Wall, graces the main lobby entrance.

Getting to the Kohl Center

The Kohl Center is accessible from Highway 151, Interstate 90/94, and University Avenue. Parking for concerts is available in campus lots surrounding the venue — permits are sold in person at the Wisconsin Athletic Ticket Office. Several public parking ramps are also within a short walk, including the State Street Campus Garage and lots along Dayton Street. Metro Transit bus routes serve the campus extensively, and rideshare drop-off and pickup is available at the venue. Fans staying near the Capitol Square or along State Street can easily walk to the arena.

About Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons formed in London in 2007 and quickly became one of the defining bands of their generation. Their debut album Sigh No More (2009) introduced the world to their banjo-driven folk-rock sound with hits like “Little Lion Man” and “The Cave.” Their second album, Babel (2012), debuted at #1 in the US and UK and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Now performing as a three-piece — Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar), Ben Lovett (keys, vocals), and Ted Dwane (bass, vocals) — the band grossed over $60 million across 53 global shows in 2025, proving their arena-headlining power is only growing.
