Janson is scheduled to perform following the Sept. 4 competition, while Lambert will headline a concert after the Sept. 5 event.

Concerts and family activities

“We’re proud to bring PBR Teams back to Thunder Ridge to offer fans so much more than a sporting event,” Snyder said in the announcement. “This is a destination weekend where world-class bull riding, hometown team pride, incredible live music and the beauty of the Ozarks all come together to create an experience that fans will remember long after the final ride.”
