PartyNextDoor will perform live at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Transportation will be provided for students. Shuttles will start at 8 p.m. from the Arkansas Union bus terminal and will run until midnight. The last ride to the fairgrounds will be leaving at 9:30 p.m.

The persona of producer and singer Jahron Brathwaite, PartyNextDoor finds the Toronto-based artist experimenting with a fractured blend of minimal hip-hop and R&B reminiscent of the Weeknd. The first artist signed to fellow Canadian Drake's label, OVO Sound, PartyNextDoor made his self-titled debut on the label in 2013. A sequel followed in 2014.
