Country legend Willie Nelson is in town for a show at the Walmart AMP on Thursday night with Margo Price, Flatland Cavalry, and Particle Kid. It’s gonna be a hot one there too. So hot, the Rogers fire department will be on hand to help cool people off.
The Fayetteville Movement Festival is back at Mount Sequoyah this weekend, with events kicking off on Friday. The event focuses on yoga, dance, and art, with classes in a variety of disciplines scheduled over the weekend. Here’s the full schedule.
George’s will kick off their weekend with a performance by local party legends, Ultra Suede, followed by Funk Factory. Fair warning. Between those two bands, rumps will certainly be shaking.
Also on Friday night, there’s a cool show at the Heartbreak House with former Fayettevillian Baker McKinney’s music project, Gravedancer. You can check out a few tracks here to get an idea of what to expect.
Smoke & Barrel will be rocking this weekend as well. They have a four band bill on Friday night with Joy Bomb, Tiny Towns, Fight Dream and Ley Lines.

There’s another rock show on Sunday with Always Tired, Nightosphere, Colour Design, Chronowizard and Crush.
Also in local tunes, Vintage Pistol is back in action in the backyard at Kingfish on Saturday night.
