The Q & Z Expo Center

Originally an elementary school built in 1961, The Q&Z Expo Center was created by Peggy Olsen when she and Andy purchased the property after the school closed. The first show was held on 3/2/2014 and has since become legendary amongst concert goers and also the bands. Located just 10 miles East of Wausau, this venue has hosted rock acts such as Avatar, Iprevail, Sevendust, Buckcherry, Nonpoint, Machinehead, Bret Michaels, and so many more. This venue has also hosted country acts such as Blackhawk, Eric Paslay, Little Texas, Phil Vassar, & Colt Ford. After almost a 3-year hiatus (2020-2023), the keys were handed over to two local music lovers and concert goers of this venue to bring back live music to central Wisconsin with the sole intent to continue Peggy's legacy. Please support live music, and this venue, so we can continue bringing in great musical acts to central Wisconsin for everyone's enjoyment! Thank you!
