Tenacious D Announce Special Run of Fall Shows
Including a September Stop at the Walmart AMP
Tickets Go On-Sale to the Public 10 am Friday, June 9
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, June 7, 2023 – Tenacious D – the greatest band in the world, comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass announced today the expansion of their Spicy Meatball Tour this fall including a stop at the Walmart AMP on Monday, Sept. 11, as part of the Cox Concert Series. Gates open at 6 pm. Music starts at 8 pm.
Presales start today at 11 am. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 am on Friday, June 9. Standard ticket prices range from $35-99.95 plus applicable fees.
The tour dates come on the heels of the recently-released recorded version of Tenacious D’s viral, fan-favorite live cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” The single is accompanied by a video directed by longtime D collaborator Taylor Stephens, and features our dynamic duo in a glorious, romantic romp by the sea. Last month, they released their first new song in five years, “Video Games,” which has been streamed over 18 million times across all platforms in less than a month. The animated music video, created by Oney Plays, brings video game-ified versions of Jack and Kyle to life in classic and hilarious ways.
In addition to the single releases, Tenacious D will be the special guest at this year’s Video Game Awards, happening on June 25 at the Hollywood Bowl, where they will, indeed, be performing “Video Games.”
New to the Walmart AMP this season is Premier Reserved Parking, which guarantees you a space in the parking lot across from the Walmart AMP main entrance and costs $30.
Also new is AMP Underground, an add-on, all-ages club experience. Located underneath Choctaw Plaza, the space includes a private bar and limited food menu to purchase, lounge seating, live concert video and audio feed, private restrooms and priority entry into the venue. The space opens 30 minutes before gates and closes one hour after the concert ends. Purchase AMP Underground for $49 per person and get all this plus two drinks and light snacks included. By mid-May, concertgoers will be able to add-on AMP Underground for June through October shows.
Returning this season, Fast Track for priority access to the venue and lawn chair rentals can be added on to your order for $10 each. These ticket add-ons will not give the holder access to the venue without a show ticket.
