Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, and Carrie Underwood to perform at 2012 Walmart Shareholders

In just a few short weeks, Fayetteville will be full of folks from all over the world visiting during the annual Walmart shareholders meeting on Friday, June 1.

As usual, the world’s largest retailer has booked a few concerts in the days leading up to the event, and Walmart spokesperson Dianna Gee confirmed that Carrie Underwood, Aerosmith and Cheap Trick will perform during the festivities at Bud Walton Arena this year.

Underwood and an unnamed “special guest” will perform at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, and Aerosmith and Cheap Trick will perform at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 30.

Gee said tickets were made available to Walmart associates over the weekend, but that they are technically “sold out.”

“It’s our 50th year, so there’s been a lot of excitement by the associates around that,” she said.

If, for some reason, the Walmart shareholders don’t claim their tickets, Gee said the public would be admitted for the shows.

[Claire2004]

Any guesses on who the special guest will be?

[Cps235]

I wonder if there's going to be a stream of this! I remember they had a stream when Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Josh Groban was performing for Walmart Shareholders couple years ago.

Thanks for posting!

That's so hard... I bet it's someone that I would never think of... Can I say Adele?

[robinannhunt]

Hunter Hayes?

[Smokyiiis]

Wanna bet it's Brad?

[Smokyiiis]

Or maybe it's David Cook....heard he was headed to Nashville and selling his house in California too

[CarrieUnderwoodismyHero]

Hmmm...I'm thinking Brad or Hunter. I wonder if she will do a duet with Steven since Aerosmith will be there?

[abdulmajeed]

Or Barrack Obama..

LOL I've always wanted a Carrie/Adele duet - though I don't know if their voices will blend well?

Maybe Hunter Hayes? To promote the tour.

I'm thinking it's ST as he's already there.

Geez, I really need to buy shares in Walmart so I can go to these things. Lucky people.

My guess is the AI winner.

[LouisaJessie]

Cool! It sounds like its going to be a great event! I'm intrigued to know who the "special guest" is. I think it could be either Brad Paisley or Hunter Hayes. Thank you for posting, Pi314CA.

Probably launching the new Duets album with Jimmy Kimmel

[Carrie_Rocks_The_House]

Unnamed guess with Carrie that's interesting I have to ask Carrie about this on the FC

[maddkat]

have we heard yet who the special guest will be since this is tomorrow night?

[boilermaker]

They didn't say that the "special guest" was performing with Carrie just that there was another performer in addition to Carrie tomorrow night.
