Pine Bluff, Arkansas – Music fans in Arkansas will have two major concerts to look forward to this fall as Saracen Casino Resort has announced performances by country music standout Jamey Johnson and internationally recognized reggae-pop band UB40 at the Saracen Event Center in Pine Bluff.
The two performances will take place about a month apart, giving audiences the chance to enjoy two very different musical styles while bringing nationally known acts to one of the state’s premier entertainment venues.

Johnson has built a loyal following over the years with his traditional country sound and heartfelt songwriting. A 10-time Grammy Award nominee, he is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry, one of country music’s most respected institutions.
His catalog includes several well-known songs that have become favorites among country music fans, including “Give It Away” and “In Color.” Those hits, along with selections from across his career, are expected to be part of the evening’s performance.
Just over a month later, the Saracen Event Center will welcome another internationally recognized act when UB40 arrives in Pine Bluff.
The legendary reggae-pop group is scheduled to perform on Saturday, Nov. 7, with the show also beginning at 8 p.m. Ticket prices for the concert will start at $39, plus applicable fees, making it a more affordable option for fans eager to experience the band’s signature sound live.
Like Johnson’s concert, tickets for UB40 will go on sale Friday, July 10, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
UB40 has enjoyed decades of international success and remains one of the most recognizable names in reggae-pop music. The band has produced numerous chart-topping singles that continue to receive radio play around the world.
Among its best-known songs are “Red Red Wine,” “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You,” “Here I Am (Come and Take Me),” and “The Way You Do the Things You Do.” Those timeless hits have helped the group maintain a devoted fan base across multiple generations.
The announcement of both concerts adds to Saracen Casino Resort’s growing lineup of live entertainment, with officials continuing to bring nationally and internationally known performers to Pine Bluff.
With tickets for both events going on sale the same day, music fans interested in attending are encouraged to plan ahead. Whether audiences prefer classic country storytelling or the laid-back rhythms of reggae-pop, the Saracen Event Center is preparing to host two memorable nights of live music during the fall concert season.
