As a born and raised Houstonian, I truly feel that booking Pepe Aguilar for the 2026 Houston Rodeo misses the mark. His music just doesn’t hit the same for today’s audience, and with the recent controversies surrounding him, a lot of people feel he no longer represents the energy or values of our city.

The Houston Rodeo is more than just a concert it’s a massive cultural moment. It’s about bringing people together, celebrating diversity, and showcasing artists who actually move the crowd. Houston is one of the most vibrant, forward-thinking cities in the world, and our Rodeo lineup should reflect that. Choosing artists who feel outdated or disconnected from the community takes away from what makes this event so special.

We have so many talented artists who would light up that stage artists whose music connects with today’s generation and represents Houston’s modern culture. This is a chance to elevate performers who truly resonate with the crowd and keep the Rodeo fresh, exciting, and relevant.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m calling on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo organizers to rethink this decision and consider artists who actually reflect the current vibe of Houston. We deserve a lineup that feels exciting, inclusive, and in tune with the city we live in.

If you agree, sign this petition. Let’s make sure the 2026 Houston Rodeo is one we’re proud of one that truly represents Houston’s culture, energy, and voice. 🤘🔥
