🐂 Bulls, Beats & Big Bucks: PBR Takes Over Fort Collins

Hold on to your hats—PBR’s Last Cowboy Standing is back and bucking into Canvas Stadium this Monday and Tuesday (July 21–22) with two nights of high-stakes bull riding, chart-topping country concerts, and enough adrenaline to rattle your boots.

On Monday night, 35 of the world’s toughest riders face off in Round 1, followed by a legendary performance from Cross Canadian Ragweed, reuniting after 15 years (!). Tuesday brings Round 2 through the championship showdown, with Jon Pardi turning up the volume to close out the two-day Western throwdown.

📍 Canvas Stadium, Colorado State University

 Both nights: 7:30 PM–11:00 PM

🐮 Top prize: $100,000 and cowboy glory

If you’re into bulls, boots, beer, or big music moments, this is your must-do event of the summer. Bonus: Catch a once-in-a-generation moment with Ragweed’s reunion—a replacement for Tim McGraw, who had to bow out due to back surgery.

🎤 Bonus Beat

Did you know this is the first time CSU has hosted a full-scale PBR showdown and concert doubleheader? Let’s just say the turf at Canvas Stadium is in for a wild week.

Get your boots on, Fort Collins—it’s time to ride.
