THE FIRE RETURNS ON JANUARY 31, 2026
Madison's iconic Fire Ball Masquerade, which originally ran from 2008-2018, will reignite for one night only at Crucible on Saturday, January 31, at 7pm. ***Tickets on sale at 12pm CT on Friday, November 14*** We're bringing back some of your favorite performers, including hostess with the mostest, TAMALE! As always, Fire Ball is your chance as the audience to dress up in whatever way makes you feel GOOD. Cosplay, fetish wear, historic, fancy, that costume in the closet you only got to wear once, and/or your PJs. YOU DO YOU, just be there! The "theme" this year is "queer/weirdo joy as resistance." and YOU ARE INVITED.
TESTIMONIALS
Fireball was an amazing showcase of diversity that brought in some incredible talent from around the country. I never expected to see such an array of performance art and such an eclectic community. In addition to being well organized and planned out, the performances kept the crowd on their toes and there was something jaw droppingly intense for everyone. Outside of the event, there was this incredible sense of loving misfit community. Everyone was so genuinely friendly and embracing. It was an honor and a privilege to spend a weekend with such wonderful people.

My partner and I met at Fireball V. We go every year because not only is it our anniversary, it’s the reason we’re together in the first place.
