You asked for it. Hell — some of you demanded it.
We heard you.
After a long, grueling, paperwork-filled, meeting-heavy, deeply unglamorous process, we’re excited to officially say it:
HI-FI Annex will return for an encore season in 2026.
Last year was supposed to be the end. And for a while, it really looked like it might be. But thanks to persistence, collaboration, and people who believe in what this space means to artists, fans, and the surrounding neighborhood, we made it happen.
You may have already noticed that a couple of 2026 shows have quietly started popping up. That wasn’t an accident. We wanted to start getting the word out, because more announcements will begin rolling out in the coming weeks. We’ll share a more formal season announcement early next year.
Fans can expect another incredible outdoor concert season, kicking off in April and running through the end of October, with the same care, intention, and attention to experience that defined the Annex from the start.
What made this possible wasn’t just persistence; it was partnership. From neighbors and neighborhood groups to local leaders and small businesses, this season exists because people came together with a shared goal: making live music work for everyone.
Getting this across the finish line took an incredible amount of support, and we want to extend a sincere thank you to City-County Councilor Kristen Jones, Senator Andrea Hunley, Council President Vop Osili, Jared Sparkman and the Fountain Fletcher Merchants Association, Dakota Pawlicki and the Fountain Square Neighborhood Association (and all of our forward-thinking neighbors that live around the venue), Craig Von Deylen, Oreo Jones, Misha Rabinowitch, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church and all of the individuals who submitted letters of support, attended hearings, and spoke up on behalf of the Annex.
We see you. We appreciate you. We ❤️ you.
And yes — we know what you’re asking next.
What’s going on with the new venue?
We figured you’d ask. It’s coming. But some things are better left as a surprise — at least for now.
See you in 2026 — with more shows and more memories.
