Bass Pro Shops Bulls, Bands & Barrels (BBB) is back for 2027 with its biggest national tour yet. The event pairs professional bull riding, barrel racing, and freestyle bullfighting with a full live country music concert in one high-energy night. Organizers bill it as “This Ain’t Your Grandpappy’s Rodeo.”
The 2027 run is a roughly 19-stop tour that opens January 9 in Evansville, Indiana, and runs through May (with a two-night BBB Finals set for early June). The centerpiece is a two-night stadium debut March 5–6 at Lourdes Stadium in Lafayette, Louisiana, billed as “Battle in the Boot.”

Cheapest Ways to Get Bulls, Bands & Barrels 2027 Tickets
- Sign up for the official presale at bullsbandsandbarrels.com — this is usually the lowest-priced window.
- Buy on public on-sale day (Nov. 13) directly from Ticketmaster or the official partner for that city. Face-value inventory is highest early.
- Compare after on-sale across Ticketmaster, the venue site, and secondary markets. Prices on resale can start high right after on-sale and often soften closer to the date (especially for mid-tier markets).
- Watch for local radio/station giveaways in the host cities.
- Avoid early high-markup resale unless a date is clearly selling out. Reliable secondary options include Vivid Seats, StubHub, and Capital City Tickets — always check seller ratings and fees.
Pro tip: The Lafayette stadium shows with Jason Aldean and Treaty Oak Revival will be the highest demand. Presale signup there is critical.
What to Expect at a BBB Show
Each night packs bull riding (8-second rides), barrel racing, freestyle bullfighting, and a full country concert into roughly three hours. It’s family-friendly but high-energy — first-timers are welcome. Many venues offer clear-bag policies and standard arena rules.
