They Might Be Giants BIO
They Might Be Giants are the alternative pop duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell, known for inventive songwriting, playful lyrics and a distinctive blend of rock, pop and experimental sounds. Since forming in New York in the 1980s, they have built a wide-ranging catalog that includes the songs “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” and “Particle Man,” alongside acclaimed albums such as Flood and Lincoln.
The duo's music combines offbeat humor with sharp melodies, giving their concerts an appeal that reaches beyond traditional alternative-rock audiences. Their live sets draw on decades of releases, making a performance an opportunity to hear familiar favorites alongside deeper cuts.

Venue and Seating Information
Barrymore Theatre - Madison is a historic neighborhood venue that hosts concerts and other live events. Its intimate scale can make performances feel close to the stage compared with larger arenas, though the experience depends on the event's seating or standing configuration.
For the best view, consider how far you want to be from the stage and check the seating layout for the specific event before purchasing. Sightlines and comfort can vary by location; avoid assuming that one section is best for every show, particularly when the room setup may change.
Parking Information
Parking arrangements can vary with event schedules and availability, so allow extra time to find a space near the theatre. Common options to investigate include:
- On-street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, subject to posted rules and restrictions.
- Nearby public parking areas, where available; confirm hours, event restrictions and rates before leaving your vehicle.
Check current signs and parking information on arrival rather than relying on unverified prices or availability. Leaving additional time before the show can help reduce stress, especially during busy Madison event nights.
