Here's What's New

Everything New for MCR 2026

{{first_name}}, two weeks from today, Bridgestone Arena comes alive for Music City Rodeo 2026. Here's what's in store - the rodeo, the headliners, the experience, and how to make the most of every minute you're there.

New This Year

Rodeo Plaza

The party starts before you walk through the arena doors. Rodeo Plaza opens 2 hours before showtime each night with live music on an outdoor stage, local food vendors, Western merchandise, and MCR activations. Think tailgate meets honky-tonk. Come early and stay through the opener - it's part of the show.

Upgraded

VIP Packages

VIP packages include premium floor and lower-bowl seating, access to the exclusive VIP lounge with a private bar, complimentary event program, and dedicated entry lanes. Inventory is limited and this is the last year we can guarantee these price points. Upgrade before they sell out.

Confirmed Lineup

Miranda, Charley & Jon Pardi

Miranda Lambert (May 28), Charley Crockett (May 29), Jon Pardi (May 30). Three nights of world-class PRCA rodeo before each headliner takes the stage.

PRCA Rodeo Action

3 Nights of Competition

Each night opens with full PRCA championship competition: saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and women's barrel racing from the WPRA. These are professional athletes competing for real prize money with real stakes. This isn't a sideshow. It's the whole point.

Plan Ahead

What to Know Before You Go

Doors open at 5:30 PM each night, rodeo starts at 7:00 PM. Bridgestone Arena is clear-bag only. Mobile tickets required - no screenshots. Parking fills fast: First Horizon Garage and Pinnacle at Symphony Place are your best bets. Arrive at Rodeo Plaza early - the atmosphere outside is worth it.
