As the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo celebrates its 75th year, it brings not just the thrill of bull riding and barrel racing but also a strong lineup of musical performances. Scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 15, audiences can expect to kick up their boots to Shane Smith & The Saints, the Austin-based ensemble known for their appearances on "Yellowstone" and a solid discography since 2011. According to KENS 5, fans can catch the group's performance shortly after the rodeo events of the day conclude.
While the evening's main attraction is the rodeo competition beginning at 7 PM, with Thursday offering a "Ranch Rodeo" as opposed to an official PRCA event, fans are eagerly lining up for the musical acts. Just 15 minutes following the dust settling in the arena, Shane Smith & The Saints are expected to take the stage for a concert spanning up to 75 minutes. Rolling out their blend of country and rock, the group is known to enrapture audiences with their distinctive sound and energetic live shows. Hot Tub Country and other bands, rattling the rodeo grounds throughout Thursday, ensure the musical vibe continues throughout the event.
Threading through the event's fabric, not just bucking broncos and cowboy hats define the San Antonio Rodeo experience. As Men's Journal highlighted, the rodeo has garnered fame for bringing a diverse range of top-tier musical talent to its stage post-competition. Iconic acts such as the Beach Boys and celebrated country musicians have graced previous events, with this year's edition maintaining the tradition.
