The rodeo is riding into Nashville this spring with the help of Reba McEntire, Jelly Roll, and Tim McGraw.

Music City Rodeo, Nashville’s inaugural Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event, will take over Bridgestone Arena Thursday, May 29 through Saturday, May 31.

What to expect
Each day will feature family-friendly activities + bull riding, barrel racing, and team roping with over $200,000 in prize money on the line. The competition leads into a concert each night: McEntire on Thursday, Jelly Roll on Friday, and McGraw on Saturday.

Ready to lasso your spot? Tickets go on sale Friday, March 7 at 10 a.m. starting at $50 with a portion of the proceeds supporting Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital.
