Nashville is set to witness an unprecedented event as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) makes its debut in the city. The Music City Rodeo, scheduled for May 29-31 at Bridgestone Arena, will feature top-tier rodeo athletes competing in seven thrilling events each day. Country music legends Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, and Jelly Roll will headline the evenings, adding a musical twist to this historic gathering. This collaboration between Down Home Entertainment, Skydance Media, and Humes Rodeo promises an unforgettable experience for both rodeo enthusiasts and music fans alike.
The inaugural Music City Rodeo is poised to become a landmark event in Nashville's entertainment calendar. Over three days, spectators can expect to see world-class cowboys and cowgirls showcasing their skills in bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and bronc riding. The competition, which comes with over $200,000 in prize money, will highlight the best of the rodeo world. Additionally, family-friendly activities such as "mutton bustin'," clown performances, and appearances by Rodeo Queens will ensure there's something for everyone. Each night will culminate in a concert featuring one of the renowned country artists.
Tim McGraw, whose entertainment company Down Home spearheaded this venture, expressed his excitement about bringing the magic of rodeo back to Nashville. For eight decades, the city's music scene has been intertwined with the spirit of rodeo, making this event a natural fit. McGraw emphasized that it was high time to celebrate this connection on home turf, and he is thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking initiative. The partnership with Skydance Media and Humes Rodeo further solidifies the event's prestige and appeal.
