Arkansas and Mid-South Industrial/Post-Industrial Events Guide

Last Updated: June 26, 2022 @ 2:25 PM

Update April 17, 2021: Arkansas residents 12 years of age and up qualify for the Covid19 vaccine. Consult the State of Arkansas’s Covid19 Vaccination plans for further information, or consult https://vaccinefinder.org/search/ to find one near you. The sooner the pandemic gets stopped, the sooner we’ll be able to do live events and music.

Here’s a list of upcoming shows and events in the industrial/post-industrial, darkwave, goth, experimental, etc. music fields happening in Arkansas and the nearby region. (At the moment we’ll be including events within a roughly 500-mile area, which will include metro areas of Little Rock, Arkansas; Dallas and Austin, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Kansas City, Missouri.) Events on this page are organized chronologically. Please check with the event’s organizer(s) or venue for tickets and other information—especially before making travel plans.
