Additional info on Tonic Ball:
- After two years of virtual Tonic Ball experiences, this year’s event returns to Fountain Square and has added Square Cat Vinyl to its venues.

“We are thrilled to be back in person for 2022, after two years of wonderful virtual experiences,” said Kirsten Eamon-Shine, Tonic Ball Committee Co-Chair. “Being back in these amazing Fountain Square venues means that more bands will be back in the mix, and we’re excited to see how they show up to celebrate these music icons.”
Tonic started in 2002 with a one-night performance of Gram Parsons songs at Radio Radio. Since then, it has grown to be one of the most popular nights of art and music in the city each year. Through sponsorships and ticket sales, the event has raised over $1 million since its inception, with every ticket purchase going directly to Second Helpings.
