Rodeo World’s Premier Tour Hits Los Angeles After a Stellar Championship Run

Over the years, PBR has mastered the art of putting up anticipatory showcases and crowd-pulling tours. Be it the Challenger Series, the Team Championships, or the Velocity Tour, the structure and performances haven’t missed the mark. However, one of PBR’s tours that reigns superior above all pulls out rodeo enthusiasts and bull riders like no other; The Unleash the Beast Tour.

Unleash the Beast is the premier series and the most prestigious of the PBR Tours. The event will host 40 of the best bull riders, accumulated throughout the year to compete for the ultimate title. The tour will encompass the best of the bull riders across 25 cities and 20 states. The season will mark its beginning in November at Tucson, Arizona, and lead to the finals over the next 7 months; including a stop at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles saddles up for an exciting rodeo evening

The 2024 PBR Unleash the Beast Tour will mark its beginning on Nov 10 in Arizona. Moving ahead from there, the tour will make its presence in Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles on Feb 16th and 17th, reports PBR.com. The riders will compete to land top spots or work their way towards it with each passing stop. The anticipatory event will be the second of its category after Team Series Championships recently overtook the city.

The situation reminisces on Austin Gamblers’ Dalton Kasel earning his first event win of the 2023 UTB season. The rider put on a 90-point ride atop Time in a Bottle followed by an 89.75 aboard Kid Knapper. The youngster’s memorable performance provides a preview of what the UTB Tour is set to hold. The top contenders by the event finale will make their way to the PBR UTB Finals where the organization has a revised never-before-seen schedule set up; adding to the persisting excitement.
