Frequently asked questions

Where are concerts held in Arkansas?

Arkansas is home to some of the country’s premium concert venues, including First Security Amphitheater, Simmons Bank Arena, and Robinson Center Music Hall. Many are located in the capital, thanks to its vibrant atmosphere, deep musical roots, and proximity to major transport links like Union Station.

First Security is the second-largest venue in Arkansas. Simmons Bank Arena is the first, with a capacity of 18,000. 

What happens if it rains at First Security Amphitheater?

First Security Amphitheater is an all-weather venue, meaning shows will run come rain or shine. Often, the performer’s travel schedule doesn’t accommodate bad weather, so they either have to play or postpone until their next tour.

Can I get a performer’s autograph?

Performers typically leave immediately after concerts, so don’t always have time to sign autographs. However, they may do so at their discretion. 

It’s worth noting you can’t purchase backstage passes due to safety reasons. However, some local radio stations run competitions ahead of popular concerts to meet your favorite artists. 

Can I bring blankets and seats into the lawn area?

Yes, you can bring blankets and small stadium seats into the lawn area, but be mindful of space and other guests. Chairs must be lower than 12″ off the ground to ensure a top-quality experience for all patrons.

Can I drink alcohol inside First Security Amphitheater?

You can drink alcohol at the venue, provided it has been purchased on the premises. Guests must be over 21 to drink. Anyone found bringing outside alcohol into the venue or drinking underage will immediately be ejected off the premises.
