Austin’s spring calendar just got louder: Rodeo Austin has rolled out its 2026 ProRodeo & Concert Series, a 16-night run of arena rodeo and live music set for March 13 to March 28. The stretch opens March 13 with the “Kick Open the Chutes” event, pairing Xtreme Bull Riding with the Eli Young Band, and wraps March 28 with Aaron Watson. Along the way, the bill leans heavily into country and regional favorites, with headliners like Tanya Tucker, Diamond Rio and Clint Black. Single-show ProRodeo & Concert tickets start at about $30.
The full schedule and pricing details are listed on the tickets section of Rodeo Austin, where organizers say ProRodeo & Concert seats generally range from $30 to $65 and include fairgrounds admission. Premium options such as box seats and Xtreme seats are also in the mix for fans who want closer views of the action.
The 2026 lineup announcement, first reported by CBS Austin, highlights that Rodeo Austin is sanctioned by both the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women's Professional Rodeo Association. The WPRA has also named Rodeo Austin its “Outstanding Rodeo Committee Partner” for 2025.
Lineup and Highlights
Each night bundles roughly two hours of ProRodeo events, from barrel racing to bull riding, followed by a full concert. After the kickoff with Xtreme Bull Riding and Eli Young Band on March 13, the schedule runs through a stacked slate of acts: 49 Winchester (March 14), La Original Banda El Limón (March 15), Hudson Westbrook (March 16), Shane Smith & The Saints (March 17), Midland (March 18), Anne Wilson (March 19), William Clark Green (March 20), Randall King (March 21), Los Invasores De Nuevo León (March 22), Diamond Rio (March 23), Clint Black (March 24), Wyatt Flores (March 25), Flatland Cavalry (March 26) and Tanya Tucker (March 27), according to Rodeo Austin.
Tickets and What to Know
Tickets go on sale Saturday, Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. through official channels, CBS Austin reported, with a range of seat types and price points expected. AXS is handling official ticket sales for the event and lists Rodeo Austin as a venue on its site.
Organizers urge buyers to stick to the official ticketing platform to avoid scams and remind fans to review event policies before purchasing, especially for things like bags, cameras and transfers.
Rodeo Austin's Role
Behind the arena glitz, Rodeo Austin operates as a not-for-profit that directs proceeds to youth and agricultural programs across Texas, a mission the organization underscores every year. With fresh recognition from the WPRA and a 2026 lineup that blends legacy country names with regional crowd-pleasers, the two-week run is positioned as both a major fundraiser and one of Austin’s marquee spring draws.
