Tim McGraw’s Down Home, a partnership with Skydance Media, in association with Humes Rodeo, has unveiled Music City Rodeo, Nashville's first rodeo.
Music City Rodeo marks a historic moment for the city, officially becoming the first time Nashville has ever hosted its own major Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo. Set for May 29 through May 31 at Bridgestone Arena, attendees can see seven thrilling rodeo events from bull riding to barrel racing, team roping to broncs, featuring the world’s best cowboys and cowgirls going head-to-head for over $200,000 in prize money.
Fans will enjoy the full pageantry of rodeo with additional family-friendly activities like mutton bustin’, clowns and Rodeo Queens, before culminating each night in a headlining arena concert. Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, and Nashville native Jelly Roll are set to headline, with McGraw, McEntire and Jelly Roll serving as founding members of MCR. Tickets for Music City Rodeo will be on sale beginning March 7 at 10 a.m. and are available starting at $50.
Having played more than twenty historic rodeos across the country over his prolific career, Tim McGraw shared his inspiration for bringing Music City Rodeo to town.
“For eight decades, Nashville's music stars have been the soundtrack to America's iconic rodeos... country music and rodeo go hand in hand," he says. "So, it was time to bring the magic of the rodeo home to Nashville and I’m thrilled to be bringing it here.”
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. A portion of all event proceeds will support their mission of providing world class pediatric healthcare and research.
