While initially advertising a January 2025 grand opening and booking out dozens of shows for the first half of the year, FIVE said it was forced to delay opening due to permitting and construction issues.
Instead, concerts it had booked were relocated to other venues, including Daily’s Place and another new venue in Downtown Jacksonville, Decca Live.

The venue appears on track for opening this month, having said over social media that it was wrapping up final renovations and planned to welcome people to FIVE for its next scheduled concert, BoyWithUke, on May 13th.
FIVE announced at the end of April that it now has an off-site, in-person box office located inside Tiger Records. The partnership offers people the chance to get physical tickets with reduced fees.
