$10/person; kids 5 & under are free and do not need a ticket

Regular artists at House of Blues-Chicago, The Blue Olives (based out of Madison, WI) have performed over 3500 shows nationally. Known as one of the fiercest jam bands around, they're described as "tight enough to be professional, yet loose enough to be really fun." They feature a hornline, killer vocal harmonies, searing guitar and a funky rhythm section.

Concerts will feel a bit different this year with a limited capacity and social distancing. Here are some of the changes you will see:

• Each concert has a limit of 200 people allowed on the Great Lawn and 30 people on the rooftop terrace. Face masks are optional. All concert attendees must bring their own lawn chairs or blankets (including rooftop tickets).
• Doors open at 6:30 p.m. There is a ticket cost for each summer concert in order to support local musicians and Olbrich Gardens.Ticket barcodes can be scanned on a phone or paper print out. Because of the limited capacity, tickets should be purchased in advance online or over the phone. If you do not have internet access, please contact Mike Gibson at 608-243-0156 to purchase tickets. A limited number of reduced fee tickets are available. To request a fee waiver, please contact Mike Gibson at mgibson2@cityofmadison.com or 608-243-0156.
• Carry in picnics are allowed. No sharing of food or drinks between different households. Please carry out all trash.
