Abbey Pierce and The Sinners to Headline HogTown Saturday
HogTown, the pregame destination for Razorback fans of all ages, is located on Maple Street just north of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium between Razorback Road and Stadium Drive.
This free event will begin four hours prior to Saturday's game against South Carolina and conclude 30 minutes prior to kickoff to allow fans time to enter the stadium to enjoy the "Best in Sight and Sound" marching band pregame performance.
Abbey Pierce and The Sinners, a five-piece group from Fayetteville, comes together to celebrate music's biggest hits in a catalog that spans the decades: classic rock ballads, boot-scootin' country and genre mashups, too. Official concert kickoff is set for 7:30 a.m.
