Island Stampede

Island Stampede brings professional bull riding to Tasmania's Silverdome in Launceston. Australia's top bull riders go head-to-head with some of the country's rankest bulls in an electrifying arena showdown. The event delivers a full weekend of high-energy entertainment beyond the chutes. Music, food vendors, licensed bars, and a vibrant atmosphere make it a destination experience for families, couples, and groups alike. The Saturday night main event regularly sells out, drawing visitors from across Tasmania and interstate. Island Stampede bridges rural tradition with urban entertainment, giving city audiences a front-row seat to one of Australia's toughest sports. Protection athletes showcase extraordinary skill and bravery alongside the competitors. Whether a lifelong rodeo fan or a first-timer looking for something completely different, Island Stampede offers an unforgettable night out unlike anything else in the state.
