Downtown Owensboro Prepares for Potentially ‘Epic’ Friday After 5 Crowd
The organizers of Friday After 5, downtown Owensboro's 12-week-long free summer music festival, are expecting a massive turn out for this week's lineup. Monday, on social media, they posted this:
THIS FRIDAY WILL BE EPIC!
In that same post, they also encouraged folks to plan ahead. Those plans should include what time to arrive, where you plan to park downtown and where you're going once you get out of your car. All three stages at July 19th's Friday After 5 are expected to be hopping and all three are loaded up with massive amounts of talent.
This week's headliner is country/hip hop star Kidd G! He's performing on the Romain Cadillac Stage on the front lawn of the Owensboro Convention Center beginning at 8:30pm.
Kidd G became an internet sensation back in 2020 when, at the age of seventeen, he started releasing music on SoundCloud and TikTok. Today, he is undeniably a TikTok sensation and has amassed over a million followers on the platform. Kidd G returns to the area following his successful 2022 concert at the Beaver Dam Amphitheatre. Opening for Kidd G will be local favorite DJ Shay!
While admission to the concert is FREE, there are some VIP tables available for purchase. The cost for a VIP table for six people is $240. That price includes a premium viewing area, a private cash bar on the right side of the stage, and access to the seating area at 7:30pm. If you'd like to purchase yours, CLICK HERE!
But that's not the only huge name set to perform Friday night. The Crashers, a Friday After 5 crowd favorite, will take the stage at McConnell Plaza, directly in front of the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Downtown/Waterfront.
They'll be playing from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
Plus, two other local favorites will be featured onstage on the Jagoe Homes Stage at the RiverPark Center. Singer-songwriter Mitchell Douglas is teaming up with Cam Thompson for an incredible set of covers and originals.
