HOT SPRINGS, Arkansas — Aaron Lewis, the Vermont-born powerhouse who first found success with 2000s-era hard rockers Staind, will be performing at the Oaklawn Event Center on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026.
Following Staind’s popularity for injecting meditative muscle into a rock era better known for mindless aggression, Lewis embraced his roots to earn a rare second round of success. Lewis crept back into the limelight with a series of solo country projects that led to a pair of No. 1 Billboard Country Album debuts: 2011’s Town Line and 2016’s Sinner.
Lewis’s work as a country artist earned him a Platinum collaboration with heroes George Jones and Charlie Daniels (“Country Boy”) and Gold-certified Billboard topper “Am I The Only One” in 2021. Lewis’s 2022 solo album followed suit, with Frayed at Both Ends emerging as the best-selling country album in America.
But Lewis never wrote songs for the stats. No matter the sonic setting, Lewis writes and sings to get his truth out, and his latest 2024 album, The Hill, is no different.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and showtime starts at 7 p.m.
