The lineup for the 2017 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has been revealed and includes a diverse mix of country and pop artists. While Sam Hunt and Chris Stapleton are on the bill of shows in March, so are Fifth Harmony, the Chainsmokers and Meghan Trainor.

The 2017 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will take place March 7-26 at Houston’s NRG Park. Additional country acts set to take the stage include Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, Willie Nelson and Old Dominion.

"With a number of RodeoHouston veterans and entertainers who are new to the rotating stage, the March entertainment schedule is set," says Joel Cowley, president and CEO of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, in a press release. "Houstonians can see a diverse offering of incredibly talented artists at truly affordable prices."

In addition to the rotating main stage entertainment, live performances will also be presented at the show's honky-tonk, the Hideout, as well as the Miller Lite Stage at the Garden during the World's Championship Bar-B-Que Contest.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo began in 1932 and raises charity money that benefits youth, supports education and facilitates better agricultural practices through exhibitions and presentation. The show has raised more than $430 million for the youth of Texas since its inception.

2017 is already proving to be a busy year for Hunt. In addition to his upcoming performance at the rodeo, the singer released new music on New Year's Day. A track called "Drinkin' Too Much" preceded the news that the singer also became engaged to longtime girlfriend Hannah Lee Fowler.
