Nine newcomers to the Houston rodeo<\/strong><\/p>\nNearly half of the performers this year are new to the Houston rodeo scene: Russell Dickerson, Lizzo, Forrest Frank, Megan Moroney, Creed, Shaboozey, Pepe Aguilar, Red Clay Strays and Koe Wetzel are making their rodeo debuts.<\/p>\n
“We strive to bring Houston the very best in live entertainment, and the 2026 lineup raises that standard once again,” said Chris Boleman, president and CEO of the rodeo. “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.”<\/p>\n
Three artists are making a return to the rodeo after more than two decades away. Kelly Clarkson and Dwight Yoakam both last performed in 2004, while Cross Canadian Ragweed last performed in 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Lainey Wilson performing at the 2024 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
