In fact, this will be Luke Bryan’s sixth time at the rodeo, and he’s such a fan, he dedicated an entire video to it.
Following the nightly ticketed shows in the arena, there are also free shows at The Hideout on the park grounds featuring favorite Texas acts like Mike and the Moonpies, Bri Bagwell, Josh Ward, Curtis Grimes and Flatland Cavalry.
