Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, CREED, Kelly Clarkson and more are among the just-announced 2026 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (RODEOHOUSTON) performance lineup. RODEOHOUSTON, the world’s largest livestock show and richest regular-season rodeo dedicated to benefiting youth, will take place from March 2 through March 22 in at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
At an entertainment announcement event on Thursday afternoon (Jan. 8), the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo revealed its highly anticipated lineup, featuring a mix of chart-topping superstars and fast-rising talent across multiple genres. The 21-artist bill spans a wide musical spectrum, including 15 country acts, along with one artist each representing Latin, R&B, pop, Mexican, rock, and Christian music.
“We strive to bring Houston the very best in live entertainment, and the 2026 lineup raises that standard once again,” Chris Boleman, president and CEO of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, said in a statement. “From chart-topping newcomers to artists making their long-awaited return after nearly 20 years, this year’s lineup is truly a reflection of both our Western roots and the vibrant footprint of the Houston community.”
Kicking off March 2 with Riley Green, the star-studded performance lineup features nine artists making their RODEOHOUSTON debut, including Russell Dickerson, Lizzo, Forrest Frank, Megan Moroney, CREED, Shaboozey, Pepe Aguilar, Red Clay Strays, and Koe Wetzel. The world-famous rodeo lineup also includes Luke Bryan (13th performance), Riley Green, J.Balvin, Rascal Flatts, Dwight Yoakam, Chris Stapleton, Kelly Clarkson, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Parker McCollum, Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw and more.
Cody Johnson will close out RODEOHOUSTON with a performance on Sunday, March 22 with special guests Jon Pardi and Randy Houser.
After the final bull bucks and barrels are run each night, a headlining artist caps off the evening with a live concert. Performances begin once the rodeo competition concludes and the stage is fully set, meaning start times can shift slightly from day to day depending on the number of competitors and production timing. A valid ticket is required for entry.
