BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Today, the Momentary announced its first round of 2025 music programming, including initial lineups for the outdoor Live on the Green Concert Series and indoor RØDE House Music Series. The Momentary, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary, has become the “epicenter of the arts and music community” (VenuesNow) in Bentonville, solidifying its reputation as a premier performance destination for Grammy winners and rising artists alike. 2025 will see a wide-ranging lineup, offering shows for every music lover.
The Live on the Green 2025 series will bring a dynamic lineup of artists to Bentonville’s sprawling outdoor lawn, kicking off with a sold out concert on April 26 with CMA Award-winner and GRAMMY Best New Artist nominee Megan Moroney. The series will also feature Alabama Shakes (July 22), reuniting for their first tour in eight years and performing hits from their GRAMMY-winning album Sound & Color, critically acclaimed indie pop-rock group Hippo Campus (May 25) who are stopping in Bentonville as part of their Flood North American tour, 8X BET Award nominee and 3X GRAMMY-nominated rap powerhouse GloRilla (June 13), genre-blurring indie-pop artist Still Woozy (August 4), acclaimed country duo Muscadine Bloodline (August 23), and reggae legends Ziggy Marley & Burning Spear (October 3).
