Tim McGraw shared the stage with cowboys and cowgirls during his first show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGraw’s first concert in his run of shows took place on Thursday (December 4), the same day the NFR (National Finals Rodeo) kicked off. The country superstar said “it was an honor to welcome some friends up on stage,” as he shared a clip of that moment on Instagram on Friday (December 5).
“This year, we had our inaugural Music City Rodeo, the very first PRCA [Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association] rodeo, in Nashville,” McGraw shared with the Vegas crowd. “We’re here to announce that we’re also doing the second annual Music City Rodeo in Nashville the 28th, 29th and 30th of May. So, we want you guys to show up.” He went on to reveal that Miranda Lambert, Charley Crockett and Jon Pardi are slated to headline the 2026 rodeo. McGraw added that “you’re gonna have the best athletes in the world” at the three-day event.
McGraw headlined the first-ever Music City Rodeo in May 2025, along with legendary country star Reba McEntire and reigning iHeartRadio Music Awards Country Artist of the Year Jelly Roll. Tickets to the 2026 Music City Rodeo will be available on Friday, December 12, per the Music City Rodeo’s website. The event is set to return to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
