While Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) is hailed as “The World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo,” for many fans of country music, the true soul of the festival comes alive after dark. This year, CFD’s Afterparties promise an electrifying lineup featuring Ned LeDoux, Whey Jennings, Carson Jeffrey, Graham Barham, and The Atomic Punks—all ready to light up the nights at The Outlaw Saloon.
From July 19 to 27, thousands will gather not just for the rodeo, but to live and breathe country music late into the night. Ned LeDoux—the son of the legendary Chris LeDoux—takes the stage for two unforgettable nights, bringing the true spirit of the American West. Meanwhile, Whey Jennings—grandson of outlaw icon Waylon Jennings—delivers raw, gritty outlaw rock that pulls no punches.
What makes the CFD Afterparties so special isn’t just the music—it’s the camaraderie, freedom, and down-to-earth spirit of Western culture. At The Outlaw Saloon—the largest bar in the state—there’s no barrier between artist and audience. You can dance, raise your glass, and even have a real conversation with your musical heroes.
For fans of Ned LeDoux, the event is also a moving tribute to his late father Chris LeDoux, who was deeply connected to CFD and beloved across Wyoming. As Ned once said, “Every time I play CFD, I feel like Dad’s still here—smiling at me from the front row.”
So if you thought the festival ends at sundown… think again. CFD truly begins when the songs rise under the amber lights, when guitars and laughter blend into the cool Wyoming night. Saddle up—because the CFD 2025 musical journey is just getting started.
