Cross Canadian Ragweed To Headline PBR’s ‘Last Cowboy Standing’ Event In Fort Collins, Colorado
The teased Colorado show is CONFIRMED.
The Boys from Oklahoma are headed out of the red dirt state next month. Cross Canadian Ragweed has no plans of slowing down after reuniting for the first time in 15 years in their birthplace, Stillwater, Oklahoma, for the critically acclaimed Boys From Oklahoma event. More than 185,000 fans gathered for the four-night sold-out event, showcasing some of Red Dirt music’s best talent, including Jason Boland and the Stragglers, The Great Divide, Stoney LaRue, the Turnpike Troubadours, and more.
But that was just the start of the reunion tour that Ragweed would embark on. Before the Boys From Oklahoma shows, they announced a Texas Encore edition of the show, and are expected to pack out Baylor’s McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas, on August 23rd. The Texas Encore will feature the Turnpike Troubadours again, but will also sprinkle in some Texas country legends like Wade Bowen, as well as rising stars Shane Smith & the Saints, and more.
Now, the band is expanding outside of Texas and Oklahoma for shows. Last week, Cody Canada took to Instagram to tease that a Colorado show was brewing for next month, but no details were confirmed.
Cody Canada recalls some memories playing Fort Collins and shared July 21st as a date they wanted to “make it a big show.”

Today, that “big show” is revealed as Cross Canadian Ragweed was announced as a headlining act for the PBR’s Last Cowboy Standing event. Ragweed will step in for Tim McGraw, who was initially announced as a headliner, as he is recovering from back surgery and cannot perform.

Sean Gleason, CEO and Commissioner of PBR, shared:
“Twenty years ago, Cross Canadian Ragweed brought the house down with an unforgettable after-party, and we immediately recognized the power of this up-and-coming band. We couldn’t be more pumped that the band is back together and have agreed to open the Last Cowboy Standing event in Fort Collins.
It’s going to be an epic night of great music and the greatest bull riding on earth.”
The two-night event is held on July 21-22 at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado. Cross Canadian Ragweed will kick things off on Monday night, and Jon Pardi will be the second headlining performance for night two.
LET’S GO.
Last Cowboy Standing is an electric Western sports festival with intense, ride-to-survive showdowns. Thirty-five of the world’s top bull riders will battle through a challenging two-night competition for their shot at a $100,000 first-place prize from the $200,000 total purse. Attendees will rock out to 90 minutes of pure country each night after the action. Cross Canadian Ragweed will bring their Red Dirt flair to the stage on night one, and Jon Pardi will bring his Honkytonk Hollywood showings to the stage on night two.
Rodeoing and pure country music…what more could you want? This is not one you’ll want to miss.
Before you go, fire up “Hammer Down” from the third night of the Boys From Oklahoma event.
