Get ready, Tasmania! On 2-3 October 2026, the Launceston Silverdome will once again host Island Stampede, Tasmania's premier professional indoor bull riding event.
Following last year's sold-out success, Island Stampede returns bigger than ever with two massive nights of world-class bull riding, featuring Australia's best riders, international competitors, elite bucking bulls, spectacular production, live entertainment and family-friendly action.
Proudly presented by Bucking Good Rodeo Promotions, Island Stampede is more than just a sporting event. As a not-for-profit organisation, proceeds from the event support the Launceston Children's Ward Auxiliary, helping improve the lives of local children and their families.
Whether you're a lifelong rodeo fan or experiencing the excitement for the first time, Island Stampede delivers an unforgettable atmosphere that brings the Tasmanian community together for an incredible cause. Don't miss Tasmania's biggest weekend of bull riding.
