Frampton Comes Alive Tonight in return to Little Rock

Posted on by

Tonight, Peter Frampton takes the stage in Little Rock as part of RiverFest.  It marks at least his fifth visit to the city.

In 1979, still riding the crest of the “Frampton Comes Alive” popularity, he played at Barton Coliseum on June 24.

He has appeared in Riverfront Park in May 1992, June 1998 (opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd), and at the 2013 edition of Riverfest.  Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of that appearance.

Over the years he has also played concert venues in Northwest Arkansas and Hot Springs.
