In its 31st season, Fridays After Five, presented by Bud Light, continues to be Charlottesville’s favorite live concert series. The first concert will kick off at Sprint Pavilion on the Downtown Mall April 13th, from 5:30pm – 8:30pm, and each Friday thereafter ending on September 14th.
Each week volunteers work the concessions on behalf of a variety of local non-profits who share in the proceeds, which raises tens of thousands of dollars to support their work in our community. The spring and summer schedule features local artists of myriad musical styles; there is something for everyone! Unwind Friday evenings at this fabulous and FREE Charlottesville institution.

17-Aug Vibe Riot Good Funkin’ Vibes!
24-Aug The Barons Energetic Rock and Roll
31-Aug C’ville’s Purple Allstars – Tribute to Prince Tribute to the One and Only – Prince
7-Sep The Pollocks Psychedelic Pop Rock
14-Sep We Are Star Children Adventure Pop

The goal of the Sprint Pavilion is to provide a safe, enjoyable environment for all of our patrons, our performers, and our staff. With that in mind, beginning in 2018, we will enact new security procedures to make sure that prohibited or dangerous items are not brought into the venue. For all events, including Fridays After Five, patron points of entry will be limited and there will be a bag check for any packages brought inside the gates. We encourage our patrons to travel light but, if you do have bags or packages with you, plan for the entry to take a few moments as our staff inspects the bags. We appreciate your patience so that we can all feel safe. Unfortunately, we do not offer any bag check so please familiarize yourself with our list of prohibited items and leave them at home. For all ticketed events, we will be instituting a higher level of security. All patrons will be asked to walk through our metal detectors after emptying their pockets of any metal objects. Patrons may opt for a pat down inspection should they choose. We will have plenty of lines open and we hope that this procedure will flow smoothly and not delay your entrance to the venue. Should you bring bags with you to ticketed events, we will still need to inspect the parcel prior to you passing thru the metal detectors. Once again, we appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of all of our patrons.
