Blink-182, Travis Scott, Brad Paisley, Counting Crows and Lady Antebellum will be among the major acts performing this summer at Northwest Arkansas’ Walmart AMP.
Opened in mid-2014, the $11 million Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion (AMP) is the region’s venue where those outstanding acts will take the stage. The pavilion has 3,000 fixed seats and room for another 4,000 people to sit on the lawn.

The AMP is an important part of the quality-of-life investments that are being made across Northwest Arkansas. Regional leaders and funders have consistently upgraded quality-of-life amenities over the past decade, opening an outstanding minor-league baseball stadium in Springdale in 2008, one of the nation’s finest art museums in Bentonville in 2011, a children’s museum in Bentonville in 2015, and finishing the 37-mile Razorback Regional Greenway throughout the region in 2015.
The Walmart AMP is located in a rapidly growing area of Northwest Arkansas, near new restaurants, hotels and Pinnacle Hills Promenade, one of the state’s largest retail lifestyle centers.
The amphitheater’s ideal location near Interstate 49 puts it within a 20-minute drive of most of the region’s more than 500,000 residents.
