As longtime H-Towners know, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo may take place in spring, but rodeo is all year. With that in mind, country music fans can get excited now about a major artist's debut next year.

Christian country star Lauren Daigle will make her RodeoHouston debut on Thursday, March 2, 2023, the rodeo announced. Tickets for her performance go on sale Thursday, December 8 at rodeohouston.com.

One of the most acclaimed and beloved performers in her genre, Daigle boasts two Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, and four American Music Awards. She scored three No. 1 songs alone with her debut album, How Can It Be (which went platinum): “First,” “O’Lord,” and “Trust in You.”

Her follow-up album, Look Up Child, won her a Grammy, aided in part by the smash single “You Say,” which is currently listed as the longest-running No. 1 song to appear on any weekly Billboard chart.

Far more than specifically a Christian act, Daigle has won a legion of country and crossover fans with her spirited and soulful tones, a passion for charity and giving back, and an authentic connection to her live audience. Not surprisingly, Daigle has 4.7 million monthly listens on Spotify and nearly 3 million subscribers on YouTube.

Expect these tickets to go fast, as Daigle is a star who's shine is only getting brighter with every album, single, and show.

Daigle's news comes after RodeoHouston revealed its highly anticipated Opening Day performer announcement. CultureMap was first to report that Parker McCollum will take the NRG Stadium stage on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.

More entertainers will be announced as next year's event draws near. The 2023 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and all RodeoHouston performances are scheduled for February 28–March 19, 2023 at NRG Park.
