HOUSTON —
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will feature arguably what can be considered its biggest and best lineup ever with its annual event this year.

According to the Rodeo Houston website, the star entertainers begin performing after the last rodeo event is completed each evening and the stage is set. Actual start times for the concert can vary day-to-day due to the varying number of rodeo competitors and other factors.
