Montana Rodeo Legend Flint Rasmussen Returns to Billings

If you’ve ever been to a rodeo or a PBR event, you know there are certain people who just make the night. They’re not the ones on the bulls, but somehow, you remember them just as much. This weekend in Billings, one of those people is stepping back into the spotlight.

The Return of a Rodeo Favorite

Flint Rasmussen is heading back into the arena for both nights of PBR at First Interstate Arena at MetraPark, and for a lot of fans, that’s a really big deal.

He’s not just any entertainer. Rasmussen is widely regarded as one of the most renowned rodeo clowns and barrelmen ever, with a career that’s shaped the sport's energy for decades.

A Montana Story That Runs Deep

Rasmussen is a Montana native, and that connection makes this return feel like more than just another booking. Coming home to perform in a state where rodeo isn’t just a sport but a way of life: that means something. And the crowd in Billings will feel it too.

A Career That Speaks for Itself

Before stepping away, Rasmussen stacked up an incredible list of honors. He earned PRCA Clown of the Year eight times in a row and picked up seven Coors Man in the Can awards, which is one of the top recognitions for arena entertainers.

He’s also spent years working with the Professional Bull Riders, becoming a familiar face at some of the sport's biggest events.

Stepping Away… But Not For Long

A couple of years ago, Rasmussen stepped back from the arena. It wasn’t a goodbye, more of a pause. He stayed connected to the sport behind the scenes and made occasional appearances, but the full-time spotlight was on hold.

But now he’s back, feeling good, and ready to remind everyone exactly why we missed him.

A Homecoming Fans Won’t Forget

Seeing someone return after a break always carries a little extra weight. But doing it in Billings (in Montana, on home turf) makes it something else entirely. This isn’t just another stop on a tour. For Rasmussen, this one feels personal.

For longtime fans, it’s a chance to relive those moments that made them laugh, cheer, and fall in love with the sport in the first place.

What You Need to Know Before You Go

PBR Billings takes over the arena both Friday and Saturday night, with events kicking off at 6:45 p.m. each evening.

And if you’ve never seen Rasmussen live, this is the weekend to change that. Because a PBR event is never just about the bulls. It’s about the whole experience. And for a lot of fans, he is the experience.
