Lizzo, Marshmello, Chance the Rapper round out Houston Rodeo’s concert lineup

HOUSTON – The Houston Rodeo is less than a month away and fans are getting ready for the food, carnival and, of course, performances.

Rodeo officials released most of this years’ star-studded line up in January but kept people on edge by withholding the Friday night performances.

Fans can finally breathe easy because the day has finally come. The remaining performances were announced incrementally on Tuesday at three different Houston-area high schools.

The first announcement was made by Houston rapper Bun B around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday at Alief ISD’s Elsik High School, where Houston’s own Lizzo went to school. During an assembly, Bun B confirmed that the Elsik alumna would be performing on March 13 for Black Heritage Day.

Lizzo is a 2006 graduate of Elsik High School and a former member of the band, where she played the flute. Fellow Elsik rams were thrilled by the announcement and said they couldn’t be happier.

“It definitely gives me a lot of hope," said percussionist Edgar Leon. "It gives me a lot of aspiration to become the next either celebrity or become the next successful person to come out of this band right here.”

The next announcement was at Houston ISD’s Sharpstown High School around 10:30 a.m., where Rodeo officials revealed that Marshmello would be the EDM performer on March 20.

The final announcement happened at Yates High School about 1:30 p.m., where it was revealed that Chance the Rapper will play the Rodeo stage on March 6.

All three schools will receive 150 tickets for students to see the performer announced at their school.

Tickets for the three performances will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m.
