Tonight’s the night! We found out which acts will be playing on the rotating star stage at NRG Stadium this rodeo season.

HOUSTON — Tonight, we learned which acts will be performing at the 2026 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

RodeoHouston runs from March 2 through March 22, 2026.

There will be nine performers making their RodeoHouston debut this year.

On Wednesday, during a live show at Times Square in New York City, we learned Russell Dickerson will be one of the acts at NRG Stadium on March 5.

We also knew that Cody Johnson will perform on Sunday, March 22, the final day of the Rodeo. Johnson, a native Texan, will perform a full-length concert. It’ll be only the fourth time that’s happened at RodeoHouston. The last time was George Strait in 2022.
