Running from February 27 to March 18—yes, 20 days—Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the largest rodeo and livestock exhibitions in the world. Rodeo Houston features a carnival, a bar-b-que contest, 10K race and some of the best live entertainment in the country. The event pulled in more than 2.6 million attendees during last year’s festivities and more than 1.3 million showed up just for the concerts.
And why wouldn’t they? Country music dominates the week’s lineup at NRG Stadium, and this year is no exception with a star-studded cast that includes Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, Chris Young, Luke Bryan, Kelsea Ballerini, Chris Stapleton and more.
Tickets for the event go on sale Jan. 11 at 10 a.m.
