Piano pop icon Elton John and rising country star Luke Bryan will perform in a series of concerts offered to Walmart associates, the retailer confirmed today.
John's concert with special guest Ed Sheeran on June 4 and Bryan's show on June 5 will both take place in Bud Walton Arena and will precede Walmart's annual Shareholders' meeting, which follows on June 7 in the same venue. Walmart and Sam's Club associates will be able to reserve tickets to the shows beginning May 15, said Dianna Gee, a Walmart spokesperson.
Walmart is also at work on a community concert for Northwest Arkansas residents, Gee said, but the neither the date or the performer has been announced.
