BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Imagine dusting off your old flannel shirt and cranking up the volume on those nostalgic guitar riffs—what if I told you the '90s rock era is making a triumphant comeback right here in Arkansas? The Momentary is bringing the curtain down on its 2025 Live on the Green concert series this weekend with a blast from the past, featuring not one, but two legendary bands that defined the grunge and blues-rock scenes of the decade. But here's where it gets intriguing: In a world obsessed with new trends, are these throwback acts still capturing hearts, or is this just a nostalgic trip down memory lane?
Blues Traveler, the blues-rock powerhouse known for hits like "Hook," will take the stage at The Momentary on October 19, bringing along a special guest that might just make your night unforgettable: Spin Doctors. If you're scratching your head, think of Spin Doctors' infectious tune "Two Princes," which turned up in countless '90s playlists and still gets people dancing today. This pairing isn't random—it's a celebration of the era's eclectic sound, blending soulful blues with quirky, feel-good rock that many of us grew up jamming to. And this is the part most people miss: These bands aren't just relics; they've evolved, touring with fresh energy that appeals to both die-hard fans and newcomers discovering their music for the first time.
Now, let's talk tickets, because here's a potentially divisive topic: pricing. General admission to this '90s revival extravaganza is set at $47, but members of The Momentary get a sweet deal at just $28, and students can jump in for $37—making it accessible for a wider audience. But wait, there's a premium option that ramps things up to $112 (or $80 for members), offering perks like an outdoor tented lounge for mingling in style, a premium bar with craft beverages, and a coveted reserved standing-room-only spot right at the front. Is this upgrade worth the extra cash for the ultimate immersive experience, or is it just catering to VIP crowds? Opinions might vary—some see it as a fair way to support arts venues, while others argue it widens the gap between haves and have-nots in live entertainment.
