Colorado Springs, CO - The 719 is gearing up for a one-of-a-kind summer event as Professional Bull Riders joins forces with the United States Space Force to mark America’s 250th anniversary. The June 20 celebration at Falcon Stadium will blend elite bull riding with a major concert headlined by country star Tim McGraw.
The event branded “PBR Space Cowboys 2026” will showcase 30 of the sport’s top riders, split into three teams representing Space Force units. Each competitor will face off against top-tier bulls in the sport’s signature eight-second rides, bringing a high-energy twist to the patriotic celebration.
Organizers say the collaboration reflects a shared spirit between athletes and service members. In a statement surrounding the event, PBR leadership emphasized the parallels between the determination of bull riders and the mission driven focus of Space Force Guardians, noting both represent modern versions of pushing into new frontiers.
Falcon Stadium itself will undergo a dramatic transformation, with millions of pounds of dirt brought in to convert the venue into a full scale bull riding arena. The production will also include expanded lighting, sound, and video elements designed to elevate the experience beyond a typical tour stop.
The day begins with a public fan zone outside the stadium, featuring interactive exhibits, live entertainment, and activities highlighting military innovation and space exploration. Motorsports icon Jeremy McGrath is also set to appear as part of a motocross activation.
Fans can also expect a lineup of patriotic moments woven throughout the evening, including aerial flyovers, parachute demonstrations, and a large-scale drone show to close out the night.
Tickets go on sale April 30, with prices starting at $31. The event will also be broadcast nationally on FOX Nation.
