Well, would you look at the calendar. It’s Friday again.
The Hog football team will be in Dallas to take on the lame old Texas A&M Aggies in the Southwest Classic this weekend, but there’s a ton going on in Fayetteville this weekend. The game kicks off at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and will be televised by ESPN.
Walton Arts Center has a big Broadway show all weekend with a musical adaptation of the hit film, Pretty Woman. There are a few chances to see the show this weekend, and there aren’t a ton of tickets left, but we spotted a few still available online. Here’s where to get them.
Also in performances, it’s the last weekend to check out TheatreSquared’s hit comedy It Came From Outer Space (and enjoy the pop-up bar on the rooftop.) Here’s ticket info and a schedule of the remaining shows.
There’s a massive music festival happening up north this weekend. Format festival, taking place on some private land in Bentonville, will include performances by War on Drugs, Beach House, Herbie Hancock, The Flaming Lips, Rufus Du Soul, Khruangbin, and a lot more. Here’s more about that.
George’s will kick things off this weekend with a happy hour show featuring Leah & The Mojo Doctors Friday night, followed by locals 1 Oz. Jig, Green Acres and Cole Birmingham Band for the late night show. George’s ticket info is here.
Smoke & Barrel Tavern has music on Friday with Front Porch, and they’ll host Rachel Ammons’ No Man Band on Saturday. On Sunday, there’s an On The Map show at the venue featuring Daniel Romano’s Outfit with support by Carson McHone. Here’s more about that.
Also in local tunes, Prairie Street Live has a show this weekend as well with locals Dandelion Heart and Country Jesus on Saturday night.
You could also watch longtime local musician Jed Clampit at a Razorback watch party and food bank benefit at a new venue located on the White River. Here’s more about that.
Comedian Trae Crowder, aka the Liberal Redneck, is in town for a weekend of performances at The Grove Comedy Club in Lowell. Here’s more info.
Drivers will face off until the last car is standing at the Ozarks Demolition Derby at Parsons Stadium in Springdale. Get tickets here.
There’s more below. Have fun, everyone.
