Kid Rock and PBR to Unite March 5 in the Fort Worth Stockyards!

On Wednesday, March 5, join Kid Rock and the PBR (Professional Bull Riders), alongside their partners from the Stockyards Heritage Development Co, Dallas Cowboys and the Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington, for a landmark announcement and fan rally around the biggest weekend in Western sports that will take over the Metroplex this May.

The sports entertainment extravaganza will be headlined by the most prestigious event in bull riding – the PBR World Finals – set to take over the iconic Cowtown Coliseum with Eliminations on May 8-11, followed by Ride For Redemption on May 14-15, before traversing Tarrant County to hold the culminating Championship on May 17-18 in nearby Arlington at AT&T Stadium. The 2025 PBR World Finals will pay out a record-setting $3.26 million to the competing athletes, including the $1 million bonus awarded to the season’s World Champion.

Before the 2025 PBR World Champion is crowned, the transformative Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo will return to the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys on May 16. During the reimagined rodeo, produced in partnership between multi-platinum award-winning American rock n’ roll icon Kid Rock and PBR, six teams, each led by a legendary rodeo head coach, will compete head-to-head in bracket-style competition, all mashed into a Kid Rock concert.

On March 5, Kid Rock and PBR, alongside their partners at the Stockyards Heritage Development Co, Dallas Cowboys and the Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington, will be joined by a star-studded panel of athletes to host a press conference and fan rally to reveal the latest news for the biggest weekend in Western sports.

Biography:

I grew up on a Midwest farm with dirt under my fingernails and the sound of wind rustling through cornfields. My childhood was all about 4H – raising pigs and horses, learning to bake and sew, and discovering the magic of transforming a garden into jars of summer sunshine. Those years taught me the value of hard work, the thrill of seeing a project through to the end, and the simple joy of creating something beautiful. A country girl with a need for speed and a thirst for adventure. Maybe that's why I love the feeling of wind in my hair – whether I'm cruising down a dusty road on my Harley or tackling a mountain trail on my trusty mountain bike. Some of my earliest memories of rodeo are watching my father compete at small local events. That's also where my love for country music comes in – long car rides listening to 8 tracks. The lyrics and melodies always spoke to my soul. These days, you'll find me cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls at rodeos, two-stepping to my favorite bands, belting out a country tune at a concert or sharing stories and laughter with friends around a bonfire. When I'm not soaking up the country life and getting my boots dirty, I'm a nurse, caring for folks in my community. Follow along for more stories from the heart of rodeo and country life!
