Bulls, Bands, & Barrels announced its 19-stop national tour for 2027, including a stop at
Van Andel Arena on
Saturday, May 22 with artists
Sam Barber and
Tyce Delk.
Presale begins Thursday, November 12 at 10AM. Fans can register for presale access at BullsBandsAndBarrels.com. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 13 at 10AM at VanAndelArena.com. BBB’s signature arena show packs bull riding, barrel racing, freestyle bullfighting and live country music into a three-hour spectacle built for longtime fans and first-timers alike. The competition and concert share the spotlight, bringing four distinct attractions together for one unforgettable night out.
Fans can take their BBB experience beyond the grandstands with Pit Passes and Behind the Chutes Tours, available as add-ons in every market. Pit Passes offer front-of-stage access for the concert, while Behind the Chutes Tours take fans to the bucking chutes for an inside look at the sport and opportunities to meet the athletes, cast and crew who bring BBB to life.
“The music matters as much as what happens in the dirt,” said Hunter Price, founder and CEO of Bulls, Bands, & Barrels. “Lafayette takes that whole experience into a stadium for two days, with Jason Aldean and Treaty Oak Revival leading the lineup. We’re giving fans a reason to make a weekend of it. This ain’t your grandpappy’s rodeo.”
The tour opens Jan. 9 at Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana, and runs through June. Artists appearing on selected dates include Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Tucker Wetmore, Sam Barber, Kameron Marlowe, Ole 60, Vincent Mason, Dexter and The Moonrocks, and more. Lineups vary by market.
The season culminates June 4 and 5 with the two-night BBB Finals, where athletes from across the tour will compete for championship titles.
The 2027 season marks a new partnership with Doussan Music Group, an independent concert promotion and live entertainment company, to support the continued growth of BBB.
“BBB has built a strong identity by giving the competition and the concert equal billing,” said Russell Doussan, founder and CEO of Doussan Music Group. “We see an opportunity to build on that success, connect more artists and fans with the tour, and help the team deliver its next stage of growth.”
