The Pub Station hosts the kickoff concert of our 2024 Alive After 5 season on Thursday, June 6. The June 6th Alive After 5 features two bands; Zech Peabody performs at 5:00pm and Kalyn Beasley & The Honky Tonk Arcade take the stage at 6:40pm. The 2024 Alive After 5 series is presented by The Downtown Billings Association (DBA) and Valley Credit Union.
We coordinate the weekly summer concerts outdoors at a different downtown location Thursday evenings from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, June 6 to July 25, 2024 (with the expectation of Thursday, July 4).
Admission is free to the public, however, those 21 and older wishing to consume alcohol will need to purchase a wristband for $3 at one of our purple event tents. The revenue generated through wristband sales at each Alive After 5 help sustain the coordination and facilitation of downtown beautification projects, public art projects, and other community-centric events we coordinate throughout the year.
The V.I.P. Experience
Twenty $10 V.I.P wristbands are available each week, and can be purchased before 12:00 pm each Thursday, either in person at the our front office located at 102 N. 29th St. or by calling (406) 294-5060. The V.I.P. area offers a shaded space for you to cool off, hang out, and enjoy the show. The V.I.P. area includes tables, chairs, free ice-cold water, and a great view of the stage.
