Tim McGraw is a no-go for CSU Professional Bull Rider’s event | Music City Minute

Jun 27, 2025, 2:41 PM

Big news concerning the CSU PBR Last Cowboy Standing event next month has been announced – Tim McGraw will not be performing on July 21. In a statement posted the Professional Bull Rider’s website, the “Don’t Take The Girl” singer’s no-show is due to a recent back surgery. As somebody who has been through back surgery, I can totally understand. There will still be live music after the bull riding event on Monday, July 21 – Cross Canadian Ragweed has signed on to take McGraw’s place. Jon Pardi is still slated to close out the event on July 22 after the second night of bull riding is complete. If anybody bought tickets for July 21 or a two-day combo pass for the Last Cowboy Standing and you no longer wish to attend, you can request a full refund by contacting the Rams ticket office.
