Huntsville’s popular 805 After Five concert series is returning for another season of free live music, and organizers have officially revealed the full 2026 lineup.
Hosted by the Huntsville Music Office and Downtown Huntsville, Inc., the outdoor concert series takes place every third Thursday from May through October at Butler Green at Campus No. 805.

The season kicks off Thursday, May 21, with Cincinnati-based indie rock band Motherfolk headlining the evening. Huntsville favorite Them Damn Dogs will open the show.
This year also marks the start of a new partnership with Resound Presents as talent buyer for the series, helping bring a new wave of nationally emerging artists to Huntsville audiences.
“805 After Five has become one of the most exciting live music traditions in Huntsville, and the 2026 season features our strongest lineup yet,” said Matt Mandrella. “The continued growth and energy surrounding the series is helping us attract nationally acclaimed artists to Huntsville, and we’re honored these performers are choosing to share their music with our community.”
