FORT MADISON -  As winter lingers, anticipation for the joys of warmer weather continues to grow. This year, the Tri-State Rodeo is starting the celebrations early!
The Tri-State Rodeo Operating Committee is excited to unveil the lineup for the second annual TSR Summer Roundup, set for June 19-20, 2026, at the C.E. "Eddie" Richards Arena. Over two days, attendees can enjoy performances from six nationally recognized artists, with an after-party concluding each evening, plus a wide variety of food vendors.
Shottenkirk Automotive Group returns as the event’s presenting sponsor, joined by a host of local businesses committed to supporting this exciting weekend.
Famous for its electrifying rodeo every September, the C.E. "Eddie" Richards Arena is transforming into a dazzling concert venue for the TSR Summer Roundup! Experience the arena like never before as the stage takes center position, facing the VIP grandstand and creating an up-close, immersive show for every fan. Choose your adventure—grab a table for your crew, snag a standing room spot to dance all night, or level up with exclusive “Club Seating” in the VIP section.

And the music? This year’s lineup is packed with something for everyone! Friday night brings the heat with three nationally recognized hip-hop and rap artists, while Saturday transforms the arena for a high-energy night of country music from three top performers.
Friday, June 19, explodes onto the scene with Lil Jon headlining the stage! Recognized worldwide for his signature shouts—“YEAH,” “OK,” and “WHAT”—Lil Jon is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning icon who has shaped the sound of modern music and pop culture. He’s rocked massive crowds alongside superstars like Usher, Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, and Pitbull, and his legendary collaboration with DJ Snake on “Turn Down For What” set dance floors ablaze across the globe. From “Bend Ova” with Tyga to “Prison Riot” with Flosstradamus and club favorites like “Get Loose,” Lil Jon’s chart-topping hits keep the energy sky-high. Get ready for an electrifying performance that will have the entire arena on its feet!
Lil Jon’s nonstop string of hits has built an army of fans from coast to coast and earned him a dazzling collection of awards: BMI’s Songwriter of the Year, eight Billboard Awards (for Usher’s “Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET Award, two MTV Video Music Awards, and an American Music Award. His influence is undeniable and his live shows are unforgettable.
Kicking off Friday night, the Ying Yang Twins—D-Roc and Kaine—will bring their infectious energy and iconic sound to the stage. Famous for their breakthrough hit “Whistle While You Twurk” and club anthems like “Whats Happnin!,” “Naggin’,” and the Lil Jon-collaborated smash “Salt Shaker,” they’re sure to get the crowd hyped. Opening the show is hip-hop phenom Chiddy Bang, whose chart-topping track “Opposite of Adults” is guaranteed to set the tone for an epic night.
Saturday, June 20, the arena transforms into a country music hotspot, featuring two top-tier headliners! Closing the night is Kameron Marlowe, praised by MusicRow as “one of our greatest living country singers.” Marlowe grabbed the spotlight with his heartfelt single “Giving You Up,” then solidified his star power with his 2022 debut album We Were Cowboys, earning raves from Billboard and fans alike. With three acclaimed albums, multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, and over 1.2 billion global streams, Marlowe is a powerhouse voice you won’t want to miss.
Also lighting up Saturday night is the legendary Diamond Rio—country icons with over 6.8 million albums sold, more than 1 billion global streams, and a string of 20 Top 10 singles, including seven No. 1 hits. Kicking off the evening is rising star Tyler Nance, who’s taking the scene by storm with nearly a million monthly Spotify listeners and crowd-pleasers like “Bad News” and “Keeps Me Sane.”
Concert-goers can stick around the arena each night after the concert for an after-party featuring a different act each night!
Gates will open at 5 p.m. on both nights, with entrance to the TSR Roundup on the north end of the arena. Tickets, including weekend camping, will go on sale Friday, February 13, 2026, at 8 a.m. and will be available online at www.tsrsummerroundup.com.
