Franklin's FirstBank Amphitheater wraps its 2026 concert season with two final shows in October, Williamson Source first reported. The back-to-back concerts bring hard rock and classic rock to the quarry stage.

Five Finger Death Punch performs Thursday, Oct. 8, with Texas country artist Cody Jinks and Detroit rock band Eva Under Fire as opening acts. The metal band's stop is part of its 20th Anniversary World Tour, celebrating the group's 2005 formation and its 10th studio album, Legacy, released July 31. Doors open at 6:45 p.m., and tickets start at $55, according to SeatGeek.

The Doobie Brothers close out the season Sunday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m. with their Walk This Road Tour. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band released Walk This Road in 2025. The album was the first in 40 years to feature Michael McDonald recording new studio material alongside Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons and John McFee, according to Pollstar. Tickets start at $29.

The Doobie Brothers played FirstBank Amphitheater in September 2025. Their catalog includes "Listen to the Music," "Long Train Runnin'," "China Grove" and "What a Fool Believes."

The Oct. 8 and Oct. 11 dates are the final two of 14 shows the 7,500-seat venue hosted during the 2026 season, according to a FranklinIs concert lineup page. The season ran from May 1 through the Doobie Brothers date.

Live Nation Entertainment operates the open-air amphitheater, which sits inside a reclaimed limestone quarry at 4525 Graystone Quarry Lane. Limestone cliffs up to 100 feet tall surround the stage area.

Concertgoers should note the venue's clear bag policy and cashless-only payments. Shows are rain or shine; umbrellas are not allowed. The walk from the main gate to the amphitheater is about a quarter mile, and golf cart transport is available for guests who need assistance.

No public transit serves the venue. Rideshare uses a designated pickup and drop-off area. Tickets for both shows are available through Ticketmaster.
