Are you ready, Nashville?! The new Music City Rodeo, the city’s first-ever Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association event, hits the dirt inside Bridgestone Arena on May 29 – 31.
Tim McGraw’s Down Home, a partnership with Skydance Media, in association with Humes Rodeo, are bringing the event to the city. McGraw, Reba McEntire and Nashville native Jelly Roll are set to headline the opening weekend at Bridgestone with performances by McEntire on May 29, Jelly Roll on May 30 and McGraw on May 31. The trio make up the found members of the Music City Rodeo.
“For eight decades, Nashville’s music stars have been the soundtrack to America’s iconic rodeos — country music and rodeo go hand-in-hand,” McGraw explained. “So, it was time to bring the magic of the rodeo home to Nashville and I’m thrilled to be bringing it here.”
Each day will showcase 7 rodeo events, including bull riding, barrel racing, team roping and broncs. The world’s best cowboys and cowgirls will go head-to-head for over $200,000 in prize money. Other family-friendly activities will include mutton bustin’, clowns and Rodeo Queens. Each night will feature the headliner in concert.
Additionally, Music City Rodeo is joining with Nashville’s Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt to benefit the patients and families it serves, with a portion of all event proceeds going toward supporting their mission of providing world class pediatric healthcare and research.
Tickets for Music City Rodeo go on sale beginning March 7, and a select number of pre-sale tickets including VIP packages will be available starting March 5 at 10 a.m. here.
