The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Florida State event is set to take over Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee with bull riding and concerts this weekend. Country artists Jon Pardi and Miranda Lambert will perform following the action on March 13 and 14. The two-day spectacle includes top riders competing for points toward the 2026 world championship.
Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee will host the PBR Florida State event on March 13 and 14, converting roughly 30,000 square feet of the field with 2,500 tons of dirt to create a bull-riding arena. This PBR Major series features two Unleash the Beast shows, where the world's top bull riders face challenging bulls in competition for a $200,000 prize purse and points counting toward the 2026 world championship.
The schedule begins each evening at 7:45 p.m. with the bull riding rounds. On March 13, ACM and CMA Award-winning artist Jon Pardi will headline a concert immediately following the riding. The next night, March 14, three-time Grammy Award-winning Miranda Lambert takes the stage after the final rounds. Tickets for the events are priced at $63 and available for purchase at PBR.com/floridastate.
Typically home to Florida State University football games, the stadium's transformation highlights the growing popularity of professional bull riding in the region. The event combines high-energy sports with live country music, drawing fans for an evening of thrills. Organizers emphasize the competition's role in advancing riders in the global rankings, with the rankest animal athletes providing intense challenges.
While the focus is on the main arena action, the weekend also ties into broader local festivities, though the PBR event stands out for its scale at the prominent venue. Attendees are encouraged to arrive prepared for the outdoor setting and lively atmosphere.
