Rodeo & Country Music Spectacular
The Stampede is coming to Arizona. It's a Roughstock Rodeo featuring the best U.S and Canadian cowboys in Bronc & Bull Riding, Chuckwagon Racing and mega-concert event, headlined by a superstar of Country music, all in one location, all in one night. Best of all, tickets start from just 29 bucks, which includes all of the evening's activities.
Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix, Arizona sets the scene of the action for this history-making, first-time-ever, Western extravaganza in early 2013.
In addition to the thousands and thousands of fans who'll be at the edge of their seats at the stadium, a one-hour Stampede television show will be broadcast across the United States, Canada and in international markets to millions and millions of viewers.

Introducing The Stampede … This Isn't Our First Rodeo

It's with great pleasure and deep-felt pride that we introduce you to the Stampede, a colossal rodeo and country music spectacular. We have a been trend setter in the business for more than two decades. The Stampede is the crown jewel of our portfolio......the epic event of our career.
Our captivation with rodeo has roots from the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta where an exhibition match between Team USA and Team Canada created an unprecedented, worldwide sensation playing to sold out crowds.
We helped spearhead the launch of rodeo on ESPN and became a prolific producer of mega, Western-themed events such as the Rodeo Showdown, Bucking Thunder and World Bull Riding Championships. Arizona has always been the breeding ground for our most successful projects. So, when we decided to move forward with this blockbuster event, the Grand Canyon State was on the top of the list to host the Stampede.
We're in the process of securing an "A" List Country music superstar to headline entertainment. We'll have the best U.S. and Canadian cowboys competing in bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding -- rodeo's most blood-pumping and dangerous events. And the chaotic phenomenon of chuckwagon racing. Plus, it's all in one night at a fabulous venue……and the same ticket gets you everything!
We're grateful to the folks at Chase Field, Winterset Concert Events, all of our event partners and the Stampede team who have united to bring you what promises to be an amazing entertainment experience. The Stampede is relevant to Arizona's history and tradition and we'll cast a glistening spotlight on our state for all the world to see.
The 2013 Stampede promises to be one of the greatest shows on dirt – ever! A groundswell has been set into motion. Welcome to the Stampede.
