Meh.

Anybody with wristbands? Lol

There's a little bit of everything in there to bring a diverse crowd to rodeo which was the goal HLSR was after. If you can't find something to like in that line up than there is something wrong with you.

This

Upset a little that a real veteran that earned the big stage like Tiesto or Armin van Buren didn't get to be the first EDM act but at least they got one.

Willie and ZZ Top.

Also Alan Jackson is a good time, if not a bit on the generic side.

I would absolutely love to see Willie perform. But helllll naw to dealing with rodeo crowds on probably one of the busiest drunk days of the season.

Blink 182? I've went to about 5 of their shows when I was in college, and most of the entertainment came from Tom and Mark joking and using profanity in between songs. I can't imagine how bad it will be now that Tom went all Emo and actually thinks he can sing.

As much as I've griped about lineups in the past I really think this is the best I've seen in a LONG time. I mean there's some serious diversity and solid acts for everyone.

So glad Zac Brown is back.

My only real change knowing what rodeo is trying to do is have Brooks and Dunn over Alan Jackson since AJ was here two years ago. Still I'll take AJ over any new country person for sure. No clue it B&D would get together for Rodeo but would love to see them at Rodeo again.

Other than that, looks like a pretty decent lineup. I may try to make Alan Jackson and Willie (seen them both there before). Any chance the Troubadours play the Hideout?

Tom isn't even in the band anymore. He's out hunting for aliens

Huh...didn't know that. I really haven't paid much attention to them since like 2005 or so. I still occasionally bring up Buddha, Cheshire Cat, and Dude Ranch and listen to a few songs.

Turnpike is way too big to play the Hideout, plus the lineup for that has been out for a while

They just released an album, so they are touring for that

Much better overall than the last several years, but Florida-Georgia Line? Might as well nail my pecker to the floor. Would be a lot more tolerable.

---

if you do that could you put it on Periscope?

would love to watch.

thanks!

Figured.

We saw Blink a few months ago and they were better than ever without tom. No idea how they're going to play to the "family friendly" guidelines though. A short set helps that, I guess.

busted

I really want to see Stapleton but it seems his style is much more suited for smaller venues.

Can Willie even sing anymore? Last time I saw him, he just "talked" the lyrics. Terrible performance.

Saw him at Gruene Hall a couple years ago and it was pretty bad. But still, it's Willie at the Houston Rodeo.

Hell, its impressive he remembers the lyrics 55 years and a wheelbarrow of weed later.
