A Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and a Grammy award-winning rock band have scheduled shows in North Little Rock.

Alan Jackson and Chicago will play separate concerts at Verizon Arena next year, the venue announced Monday.

Chicago, which Bill Clinton has called one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era,” formed in the '60s and is known for songs like “25 or 6 to 4” and “Saturday In The Park.” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. That show is set for May 13, and ticket prices range from $50 to $90 before service fees are added in.

Country singer Alan Jackson, meanwhile, will make a stop on Jan. 20 as part of his Honky Tonk Highway Tour, a news release said. The Georgia native, who rose to fame with songs like “Here in The Real World” and “Chattahoochee,” has won two Grammy awards and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017. Ticket prices for Jackson's show range from about $40 to about $130 before fees.

Tickets for both concerts go on sale Friday.
