LET'S RODEO
San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo lassos Ludacris and more for 2026

Ludacris is among the second round of performers announced for the 2026 San Antonio Rodeo.
The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo isn’t done lassoing in performers for its dust-kicking 2026 run. The Alamo City tradition, taking place February 12 to March 1, just announced four more A-listers, including two country legendary hitmakers and a hip-hop superstar.
The rodeo is bringing in 2026’s first non-country headliner, Ludacris. The Illinois-born star is most known for putting Atlanta hip-hop on the map through monster hits like “Stand Up” and “How Low.” One of the first Dirty South rappers to receive mainstream success, he went on to score three Grammy Awards before embarking on an acting career through the Fast & Furious movie franchise.
Hank Williams Jr. brings more Southern sounds. The son of iconic singer Hank Williams made his name as an outlaw country singer, kicking back against the Nashville establishment with songs like “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.” His biggest hit, “Family Tradition,” has become a Texas sing-along favorite.
Houston native Robert Earl Keen never found the same chart success as Bocephus, but he is one of Texas’ most cherished singer-songwriters. His signature song, “The Road Goes on Forever,” is now a Texas anthem. Hudson Westbrook, a rising performer from Stephenville, completed the September 12 announcement.
The four shows will join four previously announced concerts. In late August, the rodeo released its first list of headliners, including Miranda Lambert, Ty Myers, Shame Smith & The Saints, and Shenandoah.
