BREAKING: Cheyenne Frontier Days Opens 2026 Concert Ticket Sales This Morning
Cheyenne, get your hats. The 2026 Frontier Nights concert tickets go live today at 9 a.m. MST, and I can confirm the box office team is ready. The World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo returns July 17 to 26, 2026, and this is the on sale fans wait for all year. If you want the music and the dust, today is your move.
The Lineup That Will Pack the Stands
Frontier Nights is built for big voices and singalongs. This morning’s rush is for a slate that can carry ten nights with ease. Headliners include Blake Shelton, Riley Green with Trace Adkins, Hardy with Cameron Whitcomb, Treaty Oak Revival with Jessie Murph, Alex Warren, The Red Clay Strays with Wyatt Flores, and Zach Top with Jo Dee Messina. It is a mix of stadium polish, Texas grit, and rising heat that hits the heart of rodeo summer.
This sits inside the full 130th edition of Cheyenne Frontier Days. Expect PRCA Xtreme Bulls, daily rodeo, a carnival that glows late, parades, and plenty of small moments on the midway. If you want the full Western week, this is the year.
Event dates, July 17 to 26, 2026. The expanded ten day run means more shows, and a faster ticket pace.
How To Score Your Seats Today
You do not need luck, you need a plan. Here is the cleanest path into the pit, the party zone, or the grandstands.
- Be online early. Enter the official queue by 8:45 a.m. MST, stay put, do not refresh once inside.
- Use your account. Log in first, save payment and billing, and have a backup card ready.
- Target two nights. Pick a must have and a backup, move on the first good set of seats you see.
- Buy direct. Start with the official site, use verified resale only if needed later.
For close up energy, target floor or party zone on nights with younger acts. For a wide view and easy exits, choose grandstands. Families tend to like lower grandstand rows near the center.
Do not buy screenshots or QR codes from strangers. If a deal looks too sweet, it is fake. Use only official or verified resale.
Where To Sit, What It Feels Like
Seat choice changes your night. The sound system fills the arena, but each section has a mood. New VIP options in Chute 9 bring you right by the heart of the action, with a clear stage angle and premium access. The party zone keeps you on your feet, shoulder to shoulder, close to the lights. Grandstands frame the full scene, the stage, the arena dirt, and the sky behind it.
- Want room to move, pick the party zone.
- Want views and a breeze, pick grandstands near center.
- Want pampering and proximity, pick VIP in Chute 9.
- Need ADA seating, book early and call the box office for exact locations.
Rodeo and concert nights turn fast, so think about exits, restrooms, and merch points when you choose. If you plan to hop from rodeo to concert, seats near aisle breaks will save time.
Travel Smart, Book Early
Lodging moves quickly for Frontier Days. If Cheyenne hotels fill, expand your map to Laramie, Wellington, and Fort Collins. You can drive in, or use shuttles on peak nights. Flying in, Denver International has the most options, Cheyenne Regional is the closest. Book a car now if you want open range day trips.
Set your schedule around parades and pancake breakfasts, which start early and draw big crowds. Plan one quiet morning for the Indian Village and the Western art shows. You will want the balance after late concerts. For parking, arrive early in the afternoon, then stay through the music, your stress level will thank you.
The Rest Of Your Week
Frontier Days is more than a seat and a set list. Stack your plan with a ride on the Ferris wheel, a spin through the chuckwagon, and one night at Xtreme Bulls. If you bring kids, earmark a few hours for the carnival and family zone. Pack a hat, sunscreen, a refillable bottle, and boots you can stand in for hours. The dust is part of the charm, and so is being ready for it.
