Professional bull riding competition with pre-event and post-event music performances by Dustin Lynch and Nelly.
PBR Gambler Days takes over the Moody Center from Friday, August 21 through Sunday, August 23. It's a professional bull riding tour run in a team format, which puts the man-versus-beast matchups the PBR is known for front and center. The organizers make a point of it: this isn't a rodeo. It's about two hours of pyro, music, and bull riding built around a lineup of the world's best riders and animal athletes.
There's a full music schedule running alongside the riding, with sets split between the main event and the Fan Fest area. On Friday, August 21, Dustin Lynch plays a pre-event concert in the Fan Fest and follows it up with a post-event DJ Club Set Dirt Party. Saturday, August 22, brings All My Groovy Friends live in the Fan Fest and Nelly for a post-event Dirt Party. Sunday, August 23, closes things out with Tejano Queen Forever live in the pre-event Fan Fest.

If you're not familiar with how this works, the team format is what sets it apart from a standard PBR event. Instead of individual riders competing on their own, they're riding for a team score, which changes the stakes of every ride. The whole thing runs for three days, so you can catch a single night or stick around for the full weekend. The riding happens at the Moody Center, and the music is spread across the Fan Fest and the post-event parties. The dates are Friday, August 21, Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23.
