Broadway’s Rock of Ages Band will be the first concert hosted at the Oshkosh Arena since country singer David Lee Murphy performed in October 2023.
Officials say bankruptcy filings by the previous ownership of the Oshkosh area are to blame for no other concert taking the stage since then.
The community has been waiting for the rebirth of concerts at the Oshkosh Arena, and our VenuWorks team is so excited to announce this concert, which we know is just the start of breathing new life into concert entertainment within this building.
VenuWorks of Oshkosh Executive Director Andy Linton
