Get your tickets now to catch this mash-up of live musical entertainment and adrenaline-fueled bull-riding fun.
Dust off your cowboy boots and ten-gallon hat because the Tampa Bay Rodeo has announced the first-ever Bull Bash & Country Music Festival, taking place Jan. 26 & 27 at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds, located at 215 Sydney Washer Rd.
Country music legend John Michael Montgomery, an award-winning, multi-platinum country music artist with gold records hits “I Swear,” “Leave A Mark” and “Brand New Me” and rising-star Priscilla Block, a TikTok breakout who was nominated for the Academy of Country Music’s New Female Artist of the Year are headlining the festival, with Montgomery taking the stage during the Bull Bash intermission on Friday night and Block taking the stage during the same competition break on Saturday night.
The best bull riders in the region compete for the title and cash prizes in this multi-round competition. After the music festival intermission, the Bull Bash resumes with the final rounds to crown the winner. Also during the second half is the fan-favorite Hard Cash giveaway, where cowboys test their speed, ability and courage as they race on foot to capture cash that is tied between a bull’s horns.
Fans can arrive early to enjoy live music from Tampa-area artists, delicious food, a cold beer and test their skills on the mechanical bull. Randy McNeeley performs Friday and Cross Fire Creek performs Saturday; their performances start at 5:45 p.m. each night.
Gates open at 5 p.m., the Bull Bash begins at 7:30 p.m. and the headliners take the stage at approximately 8:15 p.m. each night.
General admission tickets, for adults and children older than three, are $39 per person. Parking is free but preferred parking is available for $25 per vehicle.
