The 2013 Rodeo Houston lineup has been announced, it's all quality! As usual, there are a few pop acts sprinkled through the three-week period, set for Feb. 25 through March 17, but for the most part, it's the top names in country music, ranging from Toby Keith to George Strait to Kenny Chesney!

This year's calendar of performances kicks off Feb. 25 with Toby Keith, and wraps with a George Strait concert on March 17. Strait is embarking on his final tour this year, retiring from the road, but not from making music. That fact makes his appearance at Rodeo Houston extra special, as the King of Country has great history at the event. His performance will be bittersweet.

Other acts scheduled to perform include Lady Antebellum -- who will soon be off the road as Hillary Scott prepares for motherhood -- Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, the Band Perry, and Jason Aldean, among others.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is the world’s largest livestock show and rodeo dedicated to benefiting youth, supporting education and facilitating better agricultural practices through exhibitions and presentation.
