Music fans and rodeo-goers better shine up their boots as Corb Lund is coming into town.
Fans will only have to scrape up twenty dollars (general admission to the Fairgrounds) to see the Pride of Taber, as he’ll play the Lordco Main Stage on Sunday, May 18 during the 2025 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.
Along with Lund, other headliners for Rodeo Weekend include: Trooper and Steven Lee Olsen.
Kathy Sheppard, Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association president, said their goal is to bring “exciting entertainment” to the rodeo each year.
“Our main outdoor stage will be the heart of the fair with live music all day and night,” said Sheppard. “With more music and entertainment than ever, there's something for everyone at these all-ages shows.”
She said most of the stages are free, so all it costs is admission to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, which is $20 ($12 early bird). Shows in the Longhorn Saloon do require an extra ticket.
Sheppard added the 2025 rodeo and fair will have more than 30 musical artists performing on six stages. This is the first year the rodeo will showcase three headliners on the main stage, as this year the rodeo welcomes a headliner on Friday night.
This year's headline acts are all Canadian showcasing “a blend of country anthems, modern hits, and classic rock favourites.”
Headliners will hit the main stage at 9 p.m. Steven Lee Olsen hit the stage Friday (May 16), with Trooper rocking out Saturday (May 17), and Juno Award winner Corb Lund closing it out on Sunday (May 18).
Olsen is a country artist who hails from Ontario. He’s collaborated with Keith Urban and Garth Brooks and his songs have been streamed more than 80 million times.
Iconic rockers Trooper have sold millions of albums and have a song library that includes rock anthems such as: We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time), Raise a Little Hell, and The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar.
Corb Lund is a Canadian legend. His brand of music weaves outlaw country with Western storytelling—which he then blends with his profound knowledge of the history of country music—creating tracks that offer a unique window in his life and that of rank and file Western Canadians.
The 2025 Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair will feature live music and performances on six stages: the Lordco Main Stage, the Longhorn Saloon, the Indigenous stage, the Cookhouse stage, the Hops and Vines stage, and new this year the Lasso Lounge.
