The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) is in its final weekend after the annual barbecue cook-off and 16 can't-miss concerts. The rodeo lineup reached its halfway mark last week. Big music acts like Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Cody Johnson, OneRepublic, Zac Brown Band, Chris Young, Little Big Town, Blake Shelton, Leon Bridges, Calibre 50, Kelsea Ballerini and Jason Aldean have already played.

The shows opened on Tuesday (Feb. 27)
