Barbecue, bands, bull riding and bedlam

Professional Bull Riders Australia returns to Lardner Park on 5 and 6 March 2027, bringing real cowboys, powerful bucking bulls and the toughest eight seconds in sport to Meatstock Gippsland.
Meatstock is not to be missed for for two days of real cowboys and serious competition. The professional bull riding is live, with all the atmosphere, noise and edge of your seat action. With a national championship circuit and a pathway to the elite US competition, PBR delivers the real deal: real cowboys, elite bucking bulls and genuine professional competition.
The return of PBR adds another major attraction to a Meatstock lineup that's already giving Gippsland plenty to talk about.
Meatstock is bringing its biggest music lineup yet, with American country stars Nate Smith and Gavin Adcock heading to Gippsland direct from the USA. Joining them are Kasey Chambers, Casey Barnes, Wade Forster and a stacked supporting bill.
Across the festival, barbecue crews will be serving smoked meats alongside BBQ Wars, Australian Butcher Wars, Arm Wrestling, Beard and Mo Wars and the Dad Bod Contest.
For locals, it's a chance to see international country headliners and professional bull riding right here in Gippsland, with a festival around them.
Bring your mates. Come hungry. Make a weekend of it.
