Music City Rodeo is a professional rodeo event held in Nashville, Tennessee, and described on its website as Nashville’s first and only PRCA Pro Rodeo, sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The 2026 event was a three-night program combining championship rodeo competition with country music concerts and family entertainment, summarized by the organizers as three nights, seven events, and country’s biggest stars. The event took place at Bridgestone Arena from May 28 to 30, 2026.
Events
The rodeo featured seven championship PRCA-sanctioned competitions. Bareback riding has riders grip a rigging with one hand and match the rhythm of a bucking bronc for eight seconds. Saddle bronc riding, described as the classic rodeo event, has cowboys spur in rhythm with the bronc’s bucking motion. Bull riding pits cowboys against bulls described as 2,000 pounds of power for eight seconds. Steer wrestling has cowboys leap from a running horse to wrestle a steer the site describes as weighing 600 pounds to the ground. Team roping pairs a header and a heeler to rope a running steer together. Tie-down roping has cowboys rope, dismount, and tie a calf’s legs against the clock. Barrel racing has cowgirls and horses race a cloverleaf pattern around barrels.
In addition to the seven core events, the program included mutton bustin’, a family entertainment segment in which children aged 4 to 7 ride sheep. Each of the three nights was followed by a headline country music concert. The site lists Miranda Lambert performing on May 28, Charley Crockett on May 29, and Jon Pardi on May 30, all at Bridgestone Arena.
