Cheyenne Frontier Days will announce concerts much earlier this season

Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Garth Brooks, just a few of the artists who have been at Cheyenne Frontier Days in the last few years. So, who’s coming in 2026?

I can’t answer that yet, but I know when we’ll be able to! The “Daddy of ‘Em All” has announced when they’ll reveal their 2026 concert lineup, and it’s way earlier than they’ve been announcing the shows the last few years.

Traditionally, CFD announces their shows prior to Christmas to help those with concert lovers on their lists with an easy gift, but since the pandemic, the announcement has been happening in March. This year, they’ll go back to their old ways!

CFD will announce the 2026 Frontier Nights concert lineup on December 2, with tickets to go on sale December 11 at 9 a.m. MT.

In addition to that news, CFD also announced that the 2026 celebration will feature ten full days of PRCA rodeo action, the return of PRCA Xtreme Bulls and new VIP seating with the Chute 9 expansion. Fans can also purchase carnival armbands and VIP Chuckwagon Experience tickets. Ticket sales will begin December 4 at 9 a.m. MST at www.cfdrodeo.com.
