Rodeohouston Announces 2017 Concert Lineup

... March 19 - Banda El Recodo | Siggno. March 20 - Florida Georgia Line. March 21 - ZZ Top. Photos: 2017 entertainers for Rodeo Houston. Focused on growth and diversity, this year's lineup features the most non-country acts since 2012 with seven. Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo President Joel Cowley says there’s a strategy that goes into scheduling the acts. “We’re very pleased with what we’ve put together,” said Cowley. “We try to strike a balance. Most of our season ticket holders are interested in country music; but, when you put an act in where someone wants that ticket from them, they’re happy as well.”. Since 2008, the show averages 5.5 non-country performances per year and they usually pack NRG Stadium. “And when you have an opportunity to bring in a Meghan Trainor or a Fifth Harmony, that’s hard to pass up,” said Cowley. But country artists will always be the first choice for fans like Ricardo Jimenez. He hasn't missed Alan Jackson in years. “I just ...

The 2017 Houston Music Forecast

... October, at neighbors’ urging, Turner told the White Oak developers they would not receive a new temporary permit for the outdoor stage. They obtained a permanent permit in October, but not before being red-tagged by the Public Works department after inspectors were tipped off that crews had begun construction on the stage before the permit was in hand. Then, in mid-December, a group of neighbors filed a lawsuit against the music hall’s owners, W 2 Development Partners, arguing that the noise from concerts and large crowds interferes with their property rights. Though the stage had already gone silent for the winter, a judge nevertheless temporarily banned the venue from hosting any outdoor events with amplified sound. That restraining order lasted two weeks before it expired. In 2017, there is no doubt that White Oak Music Hall intends to hold concerts on the lawn; managing partner Johnny So confirmed as much when the Houston Press reached him for comment last week. He and the other partners have repeatedly insisted they’ve worked with the city to ensure everything is done by the book, and that residents’ concerns have been taken into ...
