Yeehaw Hip Hop: Shaboozey to Pre-game PBR Bull Jamboree

Get ready to grab life by the horns—or the corny country theme, whichever—because Moody Center is about to become a raging rodeo for Gambler Days. The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) are throwing a three-day party for our local yokels, the Austin Gamblers. Kicking off the shitshow, we've got Shaboozey, the latest hip hop sensation riding high on Beyonce's coattails—I mean, her 2024 album "Cowboy Carter." His hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is still going strong at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. College kids, grab your fake IDs and score discounted tickets for just $15—because who doesn't love cheap thrills?

Saturday's a real hoot with Waco-born Wade Bowen and Austin Samba (imagine a Brazilian Carnival on steroids). Sunday wraps up family-friendly with Shinyribs—because nothing screams "family fun" like swamp funk and bulls trying to buck you off. And remember, don't wear red—unless you want to be the center of attention for all the wrong reasons.
