>Headliners for the 2025 season:
May 16, 2025 🎸 **THE VELVET BOMBERS** – Local legends The Velvet Bombers are a tradition for Friday After 5. They were one of four bands that performed during the first Friday After 5 season in 1997, and have performed 26 times. In their 27th FA5 Main Stage appearance, we proudly present THE VELVET BOMBERS to kick off our 29th Season in Downtown Owensboro, Kentucky. Climb into the Velvet Bombers' brand new Airmobile and put the top down. You can sit back and enjoy the ride in fine upholstered comfort, or get up and move around if so inclined. There's plenty of legroom, and the radio picks up signals from Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, Liverpool, Philadelphia, and Nashville. It's about a four-hour drive, but the music makes it feel like a spin on the loop. Who or what you'll see along the way is anybody's guess, but you will enjoy the trip.
