Weekend Flyer: Razorback football, Boom Kinetic, Bootleg Royale, and more

Bootleg Royale / Courtesy

This weekend is a little bit different than all the others we’ve been experiencing recently. This one has three days in it.

There’s a Razorback football game in town as well, which is also kind of a chance of pace since that hasn’t happened for 7 or 8 months. This time, the Hogs take on the Owls from Rice University. It’s a 1 p.m. kickoff. Let’s see what the Hogs are made of this year.

Music-wise, George’s kicks off with longtime favorites, The Nace Brothers for happy hour, and like they do for lots of game weekends, they’ve got local party dudes Boom Kinetic playing late night on Friday. On Sunday, George’s will host Randall Shreve & company’s Freddy Mercury tribute.

There’s a big metal show on Saturday night with Mud Lung, Solid Ground, The Salesman, Revisionist and Heldtight at Arkansas Events Center on Saturday night (the large building on West MLK out towards Farmington).

Kingfish has a show in their backyard on Friday night with locals Justin Logan Band and Bootleg Royale (who we spoke to not too long ago).

Speaking of outdoor music, there’s a three-band bill at Prairie Street Live this weekend as well with Red Oak Ruse, Charlie Mellinger, and Jess Jocoy.

There’s also an outdoor show at the Railyard Live in Rogers with Fayetteville funk masters, 1 Oz. Jig on Friday night, and that venue will host a Prince Tribute on Saturday.

There’s plenty more below as well. Have fun, and be safe, everyone.
