Bank of the Ozarks Arena – Forrest Wood Cup Weigh-in Stage
Headlining this year’s Forrest Wood Cup country music concert lineup is another Arkansas native and an artist with multiple No. 1 country hits – Justin Moore. A native of Poyen, which is less than an hour east of Hot Springs, Moore is famous for hits such as “Small Town USA,” “If Heaven Wasn’t so Far Away,” “Til My Last Day,” “Point at You” and “Lettin’ the Night Roll.” Moore’s lyrics and music are indicative of an artist with a bit of a mean streak – a little bit of party-time redneck, if you will – but with the heart of a man in love. In other words, his songs should resonate with everyone in attendance. Moore’s performance will take place on the main FLW weigh-in stage inside the Bank of the Ozarks Arena at 4 p.m. on Sunday, just prior to the final Forrest Wood Cup weigh-in.
