PUEBLO, Colo. - The Professional Bull Riders announced that Moline's iWireless Center will be the host for the BlueDEF Velocity event on June 13.

For one night only, the best up and coming bull riders in the world will face foes nearly 10 times their weight during the most thrilling 8 seconds in sports. Each rider will face one bull in Round 1 and then the Top 10 scoring riders of the night will come back for one more ride in the championship round. At the end of the competition, the rider with the highest combined score will be crowned the champion.

The action begins at 7 p.m. CT.

Tickets, ranging in price from $18 to $68, go on sale Friday, March 27 to the general public and are available at www.ticketmaster.com , the iWireless Center box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.

The Quad Cities will be the 16th stop of 24 on the 2015 PBR BlueDEF Velocity Tour. The tour kicked off in Clovis, New Mexico at the L.J. Jenkins Invitational on Oct. 31, 2014. As the last event of the BDVT season, the BDVT Finals will take place in Louisville, Kentucky two weeks prior to the PBR World Finals and offer a total purse of $100,000.

The overall winner of the BDVT season will be the rider who earns the most world points at the BDVT level. He will receive $50,000 and qualify to compete at the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals.
