Allstar Weekend and Kicking Daisies in concert

Magic Springs

Saturday, June 11, 7 p.m.

One concert in this year's Pepsi Concert Series at Magic Springs is a must-see for kids and teens. Kicking Daisies and AllStar Weekend will take the stage June 11 at the park's Timberwood Ampitheater in Hot Springs. Kicking Daisies is a 17-and-under four-piece with jaw-dropping musical skills and an infectious punk-pop sound. They are already selling out shows and moving steadfast toward a long-standing career in the music industry. Likewise, AllStar Weekend is a former garage band that was launched onto the mainstream by the Disney Channel's "Next Big Thing" TV show. The group's pop rock music is inspired by their typical teenage experiences. As always, every concert is free with park admission or for season pass holders. Reserved seating for concerts is available online for $10 and $5. For more information, visit MagicSprings.com or call 624-0100.
