After a sell-out series across Australia, the Ringers Western Stampede Series is galloping back into Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday, 15th May, presented by National Rodeo Co and NRA.

Get ready for a massive afternoon and evening of adrenaline-fuelled rodeo action, live entertainment and the very best of country culture.
Inside the arena, some of Australia’s leading cowboys and cowgirls will go head-to-head across a thrilling program of bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback and barrel racing, with thousands of dollars in prize money and valuable Ringers Western Stampede Series points on the line.
Beyond the competition, the event precinct will come alive with live bands, DJs, line dancing, amusement rides, food trucks, bars, market stalls, kids’ activities and a few surprises throughout the day.
Whether you’re country at heart, cowboy-curious for the night, bringing the whole family or simply looking for a great time with friends, the Brisbane Rodeo has something for everyone.
Come for the rodeo, stay for the entertainment and soak up the atmosphere as Brisbane Showgrounds transforms into biggest celebrations of rodeo and country culture ever seen in the city.
