Chase Field in downtown Phoenix turns into a rodeo arena and concert hall for three straight nights starting Friday, as Hondo Rodeo Fest returns for its third year with bull riding, barrel racing and a country-music lineup that includes Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Parker McCollum and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The invite-only rodeo competition puts athletes up against each other for a share of a $1 million purse, while a free Street Fest outside the stadium runs daily from noon to 1 a.m. with no ticket required.
The festival runs November 13 through 15, 2026, with rodeo athletes competing at Chase Field, located at 401 E. Jefferson St. in downtown Phoenix, according to the venue's event listing. Signals AZ describes the competition as invite-only. The competition features top rodeo athletes and stock in an eight-event all-star showcase, including bull riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bronc riding and roping contests. Those competitors are vying for millions of dollars in prize money across the three days, with Signals AZ reporting the rodeo specifically offers a share of a $1 million purse.
Each night follows the same rhythm: the Hondo Street Festival gates and parking garages open at noon, Chase Field's doors open at 5 p.m., the rodeo competition begins at 6 p.m., an opening act hits the stage at 8:30 p.m. and the headline act closes the night at 9:45 p.m., according to the organizer's FAQ page. One ticket covers a seat for both the rodeo performance and the concert that follows it that evening. Organizers suggest attendees plan to spend five to six hours onsite each night to take in the full Street Fest, rodeo and concert slate.
Who's Playing Each Night
Friday, November 13 features Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert; Saturday, November 14 brings Blake Shelton and Turnpike Troubadours; and Sunday, November 15 closes the weekend with Parker McCollum and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The pairing of rodeo competition with major country headliners has become the festival's signature format since it launched in Phoenix in 2024, and the 2025 edition sold out, per the same Signals AZ report. Nearly 70 percent of last year's attendees came as families, that outlet reported, a detail that helps explain the festival's push toward more family-friendly programming this year.
Getting In Without a Ticket
The Hondo Street Fest requires no Hondo Rodeo Fest ticket at all and offers free public admission outside Chase Field, running noon to 1 a.m. Friday through Sunday. It features two stages of live music and entertainment, food and drinks, mechanical bull rides and other activities, alongside a marketplace that Phoenix New Times says will feature more than 100 western, fashion and lifestyle vendors. Signals AZ reports the 2026 Street Fest is planned to have approximately 150 booth spaces, an increase of 50 from last year.
