Have any famous entertainers/bands performed a show at your school's stadium before? (Not basketball arena)

The last concert to take place at Neyland was when Kenny Chesney was the headliner of a show in '03 that included the supporting acts of Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, and Deana Carter. LINK

The only other concert before that was when Michael Jackson made an appearance on his "Victory Tour" in 1984. LINK

Don't know about Razorback Stadium, but War Memorial in Little Rock (home away from home) has hosted the Rolling Stones and the Eagles.
(I can't remember for sure if Billy Joel/Elton John was in the stadium or not, but I *think* it was.)

Our basketball arena and football stadium host the Walmart shareholders events. So we've had the likes of Elton John, Dave Matthews, JayZ and Beyonce, Taylor Swift, John Mayer, and many many more.

The university also hosts a concert series every semester for students where I've seen John Mayer, T.I., Snoop Lion, O.A.R, Third Eye Blind, The Fuji Fighters, Eric Church and a few more

The MDB did a Michael Jackson tribute a couple years ago. That's as close as I know of.

Could be wrong, but I think my buddy's parents said they saw Joe Walsh in the pmac back in the day

Lynyrd Skynyrd was on its way to Baton Rouge to perform at the PMAC when their plane crashed in Mississippi.

Not a concert but Opera came with Obama during his first campaign.


And Kenny Chesney just performed there a month or so ago. Oh and Hootie and the Blowfish played at one of our Spring games a few years back.

Rupp:

Stones 3x
Bruce Springsteen 6x
Paul McCartney 2x
U2 2x
Elton John
Billy Joel
I could goon and on. Chicago, Kiss, Styx, Segar, BOC. Journey, etc. and every country act you can think of.

Elvis Presley's next concert before he died was to be at Rupp.

Commonwealth: Nothing.

Stoll Field: George Harrison.

Farm Aid was held there in 96 with Hootie, The Beach Boys, Martina McBride, Willie Nelson, Jewel and something called a John Conlee(?)

And in 87 we had the Pope in house... that's a concert, right?

In 1970 Billy Graham visited Neyland for a 10 day crusade that drew tens of thousands every evening. President Nixon and Johnny Cash also appeared in Neyland during Graham's crusade in Neyland.

I would've loved to see that. Love Kenny & see him every chance I get.
