It’s time to upgrade your outdoor concert gear — just leave your glass containers at home! From spring to summer to fall, there’s music indoors and out warming up Northwest Arkansas.

The big kid on the block, the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers has an equally big slate of shows planned, starting April 22 with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. The AMP recently added Santana on July 12 and Halsey on May 25, and other headliners include Jimmy Buffett, Steely Dan, CHEER Live, Backstreet Boys, Chicago, Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys), Fitz and the Tantrums, James Taylor, Josh Groban, Halestorm, Keith Urban, The Black Keys and the Outlaw Music Festival featuring Willie Nelson & Family, Brothers Osborne, Steve Earle & The Dukes and Allison Russell. Tickets and more information on seating available at www.amptickets.com.

But the summer series at the AMP is just the beginning of the fun. Another half dozen summer traditions are gearing up, including the Mountain Street Stage series indoors in the new Event Center at the Fayetteville Public Library and outdoor concerts at Turnbow Park in downtown Springdale and the Railyard Live in downtown Rogers.
