GEORGE STRAIT TO JOIN THE RODEO’S 90TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, MARKING HIS 31ST RODEOHOUSTON® APPEARANCE
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ Announces 21 Days of Rodeo, Scheduled for Feb. 28 — March 20, 2022
MAY 18, 2021 — HOUSTON — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Today, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo officials
announced the Rodeo’s 90th anniversary celebration, scheduled for 21 days Monday, Feb. 28
through Sunday, March 20, which includes an extra day and a concert-only performance by country
music icon George Strait. Strait is set to perform on the final night, marking his 31st
RODEOHOUSTON performance.
“What better way to celebrate the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s 90th anniversary than with a
special, concert-only performance by the ‘King of Country’ music himself,” said Rodeo president and
CEO Chris Boleman. “After a couple of particularly challenging years, our thousands of dedicated
volunteers simply can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the Rodeo grounds for a Texas-sized
celebration of Western heritage that will be well worth the wait.”
Strait’s full-length evening concert will be held in NRG Stadium on the final night of the 2022
Rodeo. There is no rodeo performance scheduled before the concert, however, all activities on the
grounds, including shopping and dining areas, carnival, livestock and horse show competitions, and
other exhibits and attractions at NRG Park, will be open to the public on March 20.
Individual tickets for Strait’s concert-only performance go on sale to the public Thursday, June
24. A limit of four tickets per person will be permitted. The remaining 2022 RODEOHOUSTON
entertainer lineup will be announced at a later date.
Strait’s 2022 performance will mark his 31st performance at the Rodeo, since 1983. In 2019,
Strait’s concert- only performance with special guests Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen broke the
NRG Stadium attendance record with 80,108 fans. The NRG Stadium record is separate from the Paid
Rodeo/Concert attendance records, as this was a concert-only performance with additional seats on
the floor of the stadium. To date, Strait has entertained more than 1.7 million RODEOHOUSTON fans.
GEORGE STRAIT AND THE RODEO
More than 35 years ago, George Strait debuted at RODEOHOUSTON as a newcomer to the country music
scene. Since then, he has become a household name with 33 platinum or multi-platinum-selling
albums, the most in all of country music, and 60 No. 1 singles — the most of any artist of any
music genre in history. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, holds a GRAMMY® for Best
Country Album with “Troubadour” and more than 60 music and entertainment industry awards.
In 1996, Strait was inducted into the RODEOHOUSTON Star Trail of Fame in recognition of his musical
contributions to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He is one of only nine artists to receive
this award since the first entertainer performance in 1942. In 2013, the first four-year Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo George Strait Scholarship was awarded through the Rodeo’s scholarship
program in honor of his partnership and friendship with the Rodeo.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo promotes agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly
experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western
heritage and provides year- round educational support within the community. Since its beginning in
1932, the Rodeo has committed more than $500 million to the youth of Texas and education. The 2022
Rodeo is scheduled for Feb. 28 – March 20. The 2022 World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest is
scheduled for Feb. 24 – 26. For more information, visit rodeohouston.com and connect with
