~NOMINATE YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL EDM ARTIST TO ARKANSAS MUSIC AWARDS BY SEPTEMBER 30~
My journey into Arkansas’s EDM scene began in January 2026, when I started looking for my first rave.
While searching online, I came across two events happening on the same day in the same city. At first, I couldn’t even tell if they were two separate events or if I was seeing different posts for the same show. After digging around, I figured it out, BUT...
That was when I started noticing a bigger problem...
There were plenty of things happening in Arkansas’s EDM scene, but actually figuring out what was happening and when could be surprisingly difficult. Events were scattered across Facebook, Instagram, promoter pages, venue pages, and individual posts. Nothing was organized chronologically in one place, so finding the next event often meant digging through page after page just to piece everything together.
I started asking people in the community if anyone kept a Google Calendar or some other centralized list of upcoming Arkansas EDM events.
The answer was no...
So I decided to start organizing the shows myself.
At first, it was simply a way for me to keep track of what was coming up. But once I was already putting in the work to find and organize all of these events, I realized there was no reason to keep that information to myself.
If I was having this much trouble finding events, other people probably were too.
So I started sharing what I found.
And that’s how Arkansas PLUR Network came to be.
What started as my personal solution to finding the next show has grown into something much bigger: a centralized resource for discovering EDM events across Arkansas and a growing network dedicated to connecting and supporting our state’s EDM community.
Arkansas PLUR Network exists to make Arkansas’s EDM scene easier to find, easier to navigate, and easier to connect with.
Our mission is to create a centralized resource where people across Arkansas can discover upcoming EDM shows, raves, festivals, fire & flow events, and community gatherings without having to search through dozens of different pages to figure out what’s happening next.
We also believe that every part of the Arkansas EDM community deserves the opportunity to be seen. Our goal is to provide a space where events can be discovered regardless of the promoter, venue, artist, organization, or community behind them.
As Arkansas PLUR Network grows, we want to do more than organize events. We want to help connect ravers with the artists, DJs, promoters, venues, flow artists, creators, vendors, small businesses, and communities that make Arkansas EDM what it is.
At the heart of it all is PLUR: Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. We want those values reflected not only in the events we share, but in the community we help build around them.
Roll Haus Founder learning about PLUR
Arkansas PLUR Network isn't meant to simply observe Arkansas's EDM community from the outside; we want to be an active part of it!
We believe supporting the scene means showing up, building relationships, sharing opportunities, highlighting the people and organizations doing great things, and finding ways to contribute both online and in person.
As AR PLUR continues to grow, so will the ways we get involved. We want to use our platform to support the people who make this community possible while staying connected to the scene we're here to serve.
