Not only is Billy Bob\u2019s Texas a country music lover\u2019s dream, but it has also hosted music\u2019s biggest names from all genres over the past 40 years. Ranging from today\u2019s hottest stars such as Luke Combs<\/strong> and Kacey Musgraves<\/strong> to rock legends such as the Styx<\/strong> to the most recognized artists in country music such as Willie Nelson <\/strong>and Johnny Cash<\/strong>, the talent alone speaks to the caliber of the venue. Along with concerts, the unique atmosphere of the \u201cWorld\u2019s Largest Honky Tonk\u201d<\/strong> also includes live bull riding, and two-step and line dance classes for guests to embrace their inner cowboy.

Billy Bob’s: Lending a Hand to Music History:<\/u><\/strong>
\nArtists placing their hands in cement has been a tradition at Billy Bob\u2019s for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

Many of the club’s showcased artists have been honored with various awards and accolades. For some, however, their favorite honor is being part of what is now known as Billy Bob’s ‘Wall of Fame’.<\/p>\n

Patrons can visit the Wall of Fame and see the handprints and autographs of Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and even Ringo Starr to name a few. Many fans enjoy comparing their hand size to celebrities.<\/p>\n

About Billy Bob’s Texas:<\/strong><\/u>
\nLocated in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, the 100,000 square foot cattle barn became Billy Bob’s Texas in 1981. Since then more than 17 million visitors have enjoyed live entertainment and real bull riding at “The World\u2019s Largest Honky Tonk.”<\/p>\n

The facility can hold 6,000 rowdy patrons on a given night and has been host to hundreds of musical acts, from Alan Jackson to ZZ Top. On Fridays and Saturdays, the venue also features live bull riding \u2013 a step up from the mechanical variety. It seems like an unlikely source for a series that has sold millions of albums.<\/p>\n

Billy Bob\u2019s has been named the Country Music Club of the Year 10 times by the Academy of Country Music.<\/p>\n
