Stapleton on St Patricks Day should be rowdy

I could have done without the rain and our Uber driver ending up facing into traffic with horns blaring all around us not once, but twice and me demanding to be let out at the median at McKnee, but the show was lit.

Getting day drunk on wine on St Pattys day at the HLSR Wine Garden was unusual.

Stapleton is good.

I like Stapleton, but if you’ve seen his show once, there’s no need to see it again. I’m astonished they sold more tickets on Stapleton night than Go Tejano. 
 

My favorite show was either Khalid or Journey. I need to think on it. I didn’t know much about Khalid going in, but he put on a terrific show. Just a happy guy that’s doing exactly what he wants to do in life. I can respect that.

A Norteno night and no tejano night is damn bullshit

does the world really need - Brad paisley, Kenny cheaney, Luke Bryan, and Jason aldean. They seen like the same guy. Also, brooks and Dunn should be playing a smaller side stage

Never heard of walker hayes 

no classic rock night ?

bun b and stapelton will be the hottest tickets

You’re not thinking big picture here putt. New Kids will be a cornucopia of milfs. You of all people should be all over that. 
 

Zac Brown band as the “rock act”, and Luke Bryan closing the show are my only real complaints. Garth Brooks and King George are the only acts worthy of closing the show. 
 

Styx would have been my pick for geezer rock night. Good chaser after Journey last year.

Styx played San Antonio Rodeo last year.  By all accounts they burned the arena to the ground.  
 

I know, I know.  It’s Styx.  Many older rock bands lose their youthful zeal and turn into complete professionals  that put on phenomenal shows.  
 

Apparently Styx is one of those bands.

Oh, I believe it. Stadium ballads play well to really large crowds. Journey rocked 70k last year.

Turnpike Troubadours will be a very fast seller. Walker Hayes will be suburban MILF night.

MGK as the rock act? Do better rodeo.

This year is a big skip.... did many acts say "no" or what?

Where all the women at?

I’m pretty fucking over Rodeo Houston ignoring 40% of Houston. Like I said, we don’t need 5 fucking country acts of the same type of guy with different names. 
 

we need a tejano and norteno night. These are two different types of music. Two different crowds. 

we need a rock and classic rock nights 

I’ll even say we need an India night. Another under served population group.

 

You dump any of these three and no one would give a fuck Brad paisley, Kenny cheaney, Luke Bryan, jason aldean, Cody Johnson and brooks and Dunn. 
 

I’d be very curious to see the make up of the concert selecting committee

I don't ever go because f crowds but it's the rodeo not acl.  The focus will always be country.

Indian night? At HLSR? Are you trying to make the rodeo lose money? The goal of the lineup is about asses in the seats and buying beers and riding rides after with more beers, that's it.  If a woman could sell out NRG, she'd be there. They won't add another Tejano/Norteno day either, it's already the most dreaded day for every committeemen to work. Shit show. I actually like the line up this year, glad I moved my seats up from 100s to the club this year.

I think they were on a bill with Def Leppard a couple years ago? Styx was clearly the "opener" though, my sister says Styx easily put on the show of the night.

Every female act that my daughter has begged me to take her to has cost me out the ass because they were complete sell outs and hot tickets.  There is no act she wants to see this year and no act I want to see this year.  This will be the first time I can remember that we won’t be going.  This is the worst line up I can remember.  No rock, classic or otherwise, no up and coming pop for the tweens to faint over, no K-pop.   Might as well be a (deleted for no cr purposes) rally this year.

I like Bun B, I like his commitment to the city, but I don’t think he’s earned a permanent spot at the show. Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion are from Houston too, and would put on better shows. Also check the diversity/female act box. 
 

HLSR owes Lizzo one after her show got canceled in 2020. They rescheduled Gwen Stefani. Not sure what the issue is here. 
 

I think the HSLR’s goal is sell season tickets, and they’ll schedule accordingly.

Her availability this year.

HLSR has a wish list, and they pay attention to who is charting, who is touring well, etc... They stack rank and start reaching out well in advance.  Some bands have standing invitations and work well with the staff.  Others are permanently banned.  Some bands have tours already booked and can't work around it.  Others don't want to perform because of beliefs (such as cruelty to animals - not kidding).  Others don't want to perform because they aren't comfortable in the setting (having everyone so far away.  It definitely bothers some acts.  New stage and other things have helped over the years).

You are always going to see similar acts year over year.  Most up-and-comers don't fill up the stadium and/or have the right connections to be invited (and are too big for the Hideout/Wine Garden stages).  #1 goal of the show is money.  If they are not going to sell out or come close, the show isn't too interested.

The rodeo has spent tons on diversity studies, and is always looking for ways to include all aspects of Houston.  The big issue there is that first and foremost, this is a livestock show and rodeo event, and that is not for everyone.

Best thing this year is to head out early on the 11th, grab free drinks at the poultry junior market auction (maybe help out the kids), then wander over and see Turnpike.

And Go Tejano Day is a nightmare for committee members just from the sheer size of the crowd.  Best thing to do is sit in a suite and drink tequila all day.*

Good post. Very inside baseball. Unfortunate timing. Lizzo appears to be Europe most of March. 

If you have any control of it spoetzl, please anybody other than Bun B on Hip Hop Night next year. I’d rather see Tupac’s hologram at this point.

Ha, well, don't be surprised to see both Bun B and Lizzo out there next year, and not necessarily on the 2nd Friday.

All of this...

It blows my mind every year when the lineup comes out.  Artists have to be available, they have to want to do it, they have to be desirable, and they have to draw.  It's not like the Rodeo just gets to pick who they want when they want.  I mean if they could it would be Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Garth Brooks, George Strait, the ghost of Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, etc. every year
