Happy anniversary to F5, consistently one of Springfield’s favorite bands since their first gig at Bootlegger’s on Dec. 13, 1996. They’ve weathered a few personnel changes but have remained committed to playing contemporary hits in a way no other local group has.

The celebration is 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Friday, Dec. 16, at Buster’s (1120 Sangamon Ave., 217-522-0552
