About The Red Zone - Madison

Welcome to The Red Zone - Madison, part of Regent Street’s live music hub that includes The Annex. This dynamic two-space venue has hosted a wide range of national and underground acts, delivering an intimate yet energetic concert experience right in downtown Madison. The Red Zone shares a stage and full bar with The Annex, offering flexible configurations that can accommodate a personal, up-close feel or a broader crowd depending on the event.

Note: The venue has evolved from the former Regent Street Retreat, with renovations leading to the current setup in 2013. While public seating charts aren’t published, the space is commonly described as a generator-style floor layout with a capacity that varies by configuration: about 350 in the Annex room and up to roughly 450 combined across both spaces.

In addition to enjoying great performances, guests can plan ahead with practical details on parking, transportation, and nearby accommodations and dining. We’ve got you covered with trusted hotel and restaurant partners to help make your night out easy and seamless.

To get the most out of your night, consider nearby parking options along Madison’s streets or campus ramps within a short walk. Madison Metro serves Regent Street with several stops on routes like 641, 632, and 631, making public transit a convenient choice if you’re staying near downtown or campus areas.
