Great Plains Coliseum Hosts Xtreme Bulls Again

Xtreme Bulls is coming back to Lawton, and now we’ve got the official 2026 dates locked in.

The annual bull riding weekend is set for April 3 and April 4 at the Great Plains Coliseum. Doors open at 6:00 PM both nights, and it’s once again an all-ages show that’s basically two straight evenings of riders vs very angry bulls.

If you’ve never been, this isn’t a rodeo with a little bit of bull riding tucked into the schedule. This is only bull riding. The whole night. Every matchup is the main event.

The list of riders is pretty deep and they're all showing up to chase their cut of the prize money, points, and bragging rights.

Tickets are available online through StubWire.

Two-day tickets are running about $33.50 for general admission and $55 for premium seating, fees included. If you can only make it to the show for one night, individual tickets are available too.

If you'd rather buy in person, grab tickets at Crutcher's Western Wear on C Avenue in downtown Lawton, or at the Duncan location in Elk Plaza.

Luckily, landing on a payday weekend, I'm sure it'll be a packed house to see the action and carnage.

Since we can't just pick a top five or ten, here are the Oklahoma BBQ joints that have the biggest fans.
