The Bacon Brothers at Crystal Grand Music Theatre

The Bacon Brothers bring their unique blend of rock, country, and Americana to Crystal Grand Music Theatre, combining Kevin Bacon’s acting fame with brother Michael’s songwriting chops for an intimate 600-seat performance. The duo performs original material from their eight studio albums plus carefully chosen covers, creating a concert experience that feels more like a living room jam session than a typical touring show. Crystal Grand sits just blocks from the Wisconsin River, making it easy to pair the show with a riverside dinner at Ishnala Supper Club (est. 1953) or a late afternoon paddleboard session on Lake Delton.

Concert Logistics

Doors open 90 minutes before showtime for general admission seating. Arrive early to claim preferred seats near the stage and grab drinks from the full bar. The venue offers free on-site parking, though nearby streets fill quickly on busy nights. Shows typically run about 90 minutes with occasional audience interaction and storytelling between songs. If you’re staying overnight, look for lake-view rentals on Lake Delton’s north shore through Lake.com where you can wake up to water views and spend the next morning exploring Rocky Arbor State Park or renting a pontoon boat.

Planning Tips

The theater keeps air conditioning comfortable year-round, but bring a light sweater if you tend to get cold. Photography is allowed without flash. The venue is all-ages, though the music and vibe skew toward adult audiences familiar with Americana and roots rock. If rain cancels your pre-show lake plans, the Dells’ indoor attractions (H.H. Bennett Studio, Ripley’s Believe It or Not) are all within a 10-minute drive.
