What’s new in Phoenix this week?
The Hondo Rodeo Fest takes over Chase Field in downtown Phoenix from Friday, November 13, through Sunday, November 15, 2026. Each night pairs a rodeo with a concert, including Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert on Friday, Blake Shelton and Turnpike Troubadours on Saturday, and Parker McCollum and Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sunday.

Boots on, Phoenix. Chase Field is about to trade fastballs for bucking broncos, and it happens in less than four weeks.
Hondo Rodeo Fest 2026: dates, lineup, and what to expect
The Hondo Rodeo Fest is back at Chase Field for November 13 to 15, 2026. Phoenix New Times and KTAR News both report the same three nights, and Cowgirl Magazine confirms the dates and venue and points fans to thehondorodeofest.com for tickets.
Here’s the nightly music lineup as reported:
- Friday, November 13: Tim McGraw and Miranda Lambert
- Saturday, November 14: Blake Shelton and Turnpike Troubadours
- Sunday, November 15: Parker McCollum and Lynyrd Skynyrd
Every ticket includes the daily rodeo events and the concert, according to Phoenix New Times. Options run from one-day passes to three-day passes, floor seats, and VIP boxes, all sold through Ticketmaster. Phoenix New Times also reports a free, family-friendly outdoor festival outside the ballpark from noon to 6 p.m. each day. Check the official site for current prices and availability before you plan your weekend, since I couldn’t confirm pricing.
Getting downtown and making a weekend of it
Chase Field sits in the middle of downtown Phoenix, so you’ve got restaurants, bars, and the light rail within walking distance. My tip: decide on parking or the train before the Friday headliner crowd does it for you. Three big nights downtown means traffic and garage prices will move.
If you want to stack more fall plans around it, the Arizona State Fair wraps up November 1, and Canal Convergence lights up the Scottsdale Waterfront November 6 to 15, so you can easily fill the weeks before the rodeo.
Why locals keep showing up for events like this
Big-name weekends at a downtown ballpark are one more reason the Valley keeps drawing people. If you’re curious what it’s like to live near the action in Phoenix, or anywhere else in the metro, that’s my world. You can reach out any time through my work with me page.
Dates and lineups can change, so confirm with the official ticket page before you go.
