How do I get schedule information on specific shows?
We make it easy. The calendar and menu of events are categorized by genre and region, right here on our site.

Why do entertainers perform for the military?
Performers need to perform. It's in their DNA. Plus, going on tour with Armed Forces Entertainment is an opportunity for artists to give back and honor the sacrifices deployed servicemembers and their families make on behalf of our country. For up-and-coming artists, touring with AFE is a great way to build an audience. For established artists, it's an up-close-and-personal way to say thanks to fans.
-
How much do tickets cost?
It's FREE to attend every Armed Forces Entertainment show. Every single show, every single time.
-
Why are there occasional schedule changes?
Sometimes emergencies and personal challenges pop up for scheduled artists. Add the uncertainty of world politics, and tour agendas inevitably shift. We rush the updates to the effected venue and make changes to the online show schedule as quickly as possible. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Can I invite non-military people to AFE events?
It depends on the rules of your installation. In general, yes, non-military guests are allowed at AFE shows. But military personnel are our priority.
Unexpected hits, powerhouse vocals, and big harmonies, Rival 5 brings a night of ’80s pop like no other. Rival 5 is not your average ’80s band. They specialize in playing all the hits you forgot you loved and that you couldn’t admit to because they weren’t metal. Each show is packed with high energy, big vocals, and a shot of ’80s nostalgia that will have you digging out your best neon and hitting the floor.
Their dynamic co-lead duo, Tyler and Haley, power back and forth, bringing big voices to tough songs, topped off with stellar harmonies from the entire band. The rhythm section comes from the big leagues: bassist Twigg has played on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “Saturday Night Live.”
Walter has played drums on Minnesota-based Quietdrive’s first album, including their rendition of “Time After Time,” and has toured the country with various drumlines. Along with Tim Kletti, a 20-year metal rocker turned pop guitarist, Rival 5 brings big sound, quality musicianship, and high-energy performances to every stage, every time.
