Nashville + pro rodeo + country music = Music City rodeo and Grand Ole Opry takeover! | Music City Minute 

Apr 1, 2026, 3:13 PM | Updated: 3:16 pm

Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire and Jelly Roll all agree that rodeo and country music go together like Vienna sausages and Cheese Whiz or 38-inch wheels and KC Lights on your daily driver. With that in mind, it always felt unusual that a city like Nashville wouldn’t regularly host any major pro rodeo events. However, Miss Reba, McGraw and Jelly decided it was time to change the game and officially launched Music City Rodeo last May. This year’s annual event is set to take place at the Bridgestone Arena, May 28 through 30 and will feature headline performances by Miranda Lambert, Charley Crockett and Jon Pardi. Not only that, a newly announced event has been added to the lineup of festivities in which Music City Rodeo takes over the Grand Ole Opry with live music from Ashley Cook, Hudson Westbrook and Jon Pardi, May 5. Tickets for the 3-day rodeo event and Opry takeover can be picked up at musiccityrodeo.com.
