Flyer for Suicide Commando, performing at Area 51, at 6511 Warden Road in Sherwood, on July 4, 2022, presented by Club Nevermore. There is Club Nevermore’s logo, which is a skull with a raven inside of it, on the left side. On the right side is a photo of Suicide Commando’s Johan Van Roy, which has another photo overlaid on top, creating a double exposure-like effect.

Big news: the legendary Belgian industrial artist Suicide Commando is coming to Club Nevermore on July 4, 2022 at Area 51 in Sherwood. Tickets go on sale on March 1, 2022. Details and a link to get tickets are at this link.

I (Operator OT) don’t necessarily condone taking the directions to Area 51 that Google provides—Google’s directions might get you stuck in an alley without an easy way out. This is what I advise…

For those travelling from Little Rock, take I-30 north to I-40 East, then turn onto Highway 67/167 North. Take Exit 4, Brockington Road. Get in the left lane and go north till you reach the traffic light at Brookswood Road. Turn left and go south for two blocks to Warden Road, which is a one-way road (and the access road for Highway 67/167 South). Turn right onto Warden Road and go south for about half a mile. Area 51 will be in the strip mall on the right, between a car dealership and a Waffle House. Enter Area 51 by going into Alibis Bar, which does the admissions for Area 51.

For those travelling from North Little Rock, get on JFK Boulevard and go north till you reach East Kiehl Avenue. Turn right and go east, following the signs directing drivers to Highway 67/167 South, which will turn right onto Warden Road.
