Bucking Bulls return to Rockhampton, Queensland!

Gear up for some bull riding action when Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Australia returns to Rockhampton for two exhilarating events on Saturday 17 October 2020.

The 2020 PBR Australia Monster Energy Tour recommenced earlier last month and the historic Great Western Hotel will be a key stop in the schedule.

Rockhampton Region Mayor Margaret Strelow said Council is delighted to support the event as the Destination Partner.

“As the events capital of Central Queensland and our strong history with bull riding, Rockhampton is well positioned to host this renowned sporting event,” Mayor Strelow said.

Rockhampton Regional Council’s Manager of Tourism and Events, Annette Pearce, said the opportunity for the Region is exciting.

“With the event being broadcast live internationally and aired on 7Mate following the event, it’s a fantastic chance to showcase our Region and what it has to offer to not only a national audience but also to an engaged global western sports audience virtually,” Ms Pearce said.

PBR Australia General Manager Glen Young said he is pleased to be back operating and even more pleased to be back in the beef capital of Australia.

“This is a very unique year for us and with the support of Council it has not only enabled our sport to continue, but also return to the heartland inside one of the most iconic bull riding venues in Australia,” Glen Young said.

The bull riding action will be on full display from not only PBR’s best riders but some of the up and coming local talent, all competing for points and the goal to join the grand final in November.

The PBR Rockhampton Invitational will be held over two sessions, 1pm and 6pm. Tickets are limited with Covid Safe capacity restrictions per session.
