Arkansas Tiny Desk Contest Tickets

The Arkansas Tiny Desk Contest is a regional chapter of NPR’s iconic Tiny Desk ecosystem, bringing intimate performances from Arkansas-based artists to the spotlight. Now in its third annual Arkansas-specific Tiny Desk event, the showcase highlights local talent and connects fans with the rich musical roots of the Natural State. The series is presented by Little Rock Public Radio (UA Little Rock) with support from local sponsors, and proceeds support public radio.

On October 18, 2025, the Arkansas Showcase returns to The Hall in Little Rock for a night of original songs performed in a cozy, desk-side setting. The event features top Arkansas entrants from NPR’s national Tiny Desk Contest, including Sarah Lily, Mildenhall, and Maestro3000, who will bring their distinctive sounds to a live audience. Doors open at 5:00 PM and the show starts at 6:00 PM.

We’ve got you covered for tickets, with options ranging from floor standing to tables for four, ensuring you can find a great view and price. As part of the NPR Tiny Desk family, this Arkansas showcase is a must-see for fans of intimate, artist-driven performances and the continued growth of the Tiny Desk ecosystem in the region.

Arkansas Tiny Desk Contest is more than a show—it’s a doorway into Arkansas’ thriving independent music scene.
