Teton Ridge, a leading force in Western sports and entertainment, has revealed the musical acts set to perform at the 12th Annual The American Rodeo Championship Weekend. Scheduled for April 11-12, 2025, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, the event promises an exciting combination of top-tier rodeo action and electrifying country music performances.
Friday, April 11: Bailey Zimmerman
The weekend kicks off with a performance by Bailey Zimmerman, a rising star in country music and a nominee for ACM’s “New Male Artist of the Year.” Zimmerman’s high-energy shows and passionate performances have made him a fan favorite, and he’ll bring his signature flair as the rodeo’s final Contenders compete for a shot at the $1 Million bonus. This will be a night full of anticipation as the Top 5 Contenders advance to the next day’s main event.
Saturday, April 12: Riley Green and Ella Langley
On Saturday, country music sensation Riley Green will take the stage. Known for his authentic Southern sound and chart-topping hits, Green will deliver a performance that mixes modern country with classic favorites. He will be joined by rising star Ella Langley, whose powerful voice and dynamic stage presence are sure to captivate the audience. Together, Green and Langley will wrap up the weekend with an unforgettable show that perfectly blends the excitement of the rodeo with the heart of country music.
A Unique Blend of Rodeo and Music
The American Rodeo Championship Weekend is not just about incredible rodeo action but also about celebrating the best in country music. Fans will witness reigning rodeo champions compete against underdog Contenders, all vying for life-changing payouts. The 2024 event saw a record-breaking $4.6 million awarded to athletes, solidifying The American Rodeo as one of the highest-paying events in Western sports.
“The American Rodeo is where the grit of Western sports meets the energy of live music, and this year’s lineup is going to be truly special,” said Deirdre Lester, CEO of Teton Ridge. “Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, and Ella Langley represent the best of modern country, and we’re thrilled to bring that same spirit of authenticity and excitement to the heart of rodeo. Our goal is to create a weekend that’s unforgettable for fans, athletes, and music lovers alike, continuing to push the boundaries of what this event can be.”
