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 versus BYU and conclude 30 minutes prior to kick-off 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 is a five-piece group that 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.

They will perform live starting at 3 p.m. on the concert stage.

  • Open to fans of all ages. No game ticket required.
  • Food truck options featuring a variety of menu items for all kinds of eaters
  • Beer Garden located by the main stage
