After their explosive seven-date run through spring and summer of 2024, the 2025 iteration of Rock the Country is back and bigger than ever.
Taking form as a multi-day, multi-city festival, the event will visit another batch of ten "small towns" across the southeast and midwest next April through July.
Where last year saw country rockers Jason Aldean and Kid Rock joining forces across the collection of dates, the second installment will feature Kid Rock and an equally as impactful country rock band, Nickelback, taking over the headlining duties.

Come the weekend of April 4, the first Rock the Country show will set up camp in Livingston, LA before moving on to Knoxville, TN; Poplar Bluff, MO; Ocala, FL and York, PA. As we roll into the summer months, the crew will also make stops in Hastings, MI; Little Rock, AR; Ashland, KY and Sioux Falls, SD before wrapping up the 2025 expedition in Anderson, SC from July 25 through the 26.
The festival tour will feature a variety of artists, both new and already loved, across each stop including: Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Three Doors Down, Travis Tritt, Gavin Adcock, Tracy Lawrence, Treaty Oak Revival, Aaron Lewis and The Stateliners, Ella Langley, Upchurch, Diamond Rio, Ole 60, Little Texas, Hudson Westbrook, Logan Crosby, Them Dirty Roses, Vincent Mason, Clay Walker, Ty Myers, Bayker Blakenship and others.
Also featured throughout each weekend will be a special 90s Happy Hour that will see performances from acts like Shenandoah, Mark Chestnutt, Jo Dee Messina, Sammy Kershaw, Deana Carter, Afroman, Ying Yang Twins, Tone Loc and Dee Jay Silver.
During its inaugural run, Rock the Country 2024 featured special guest performances from the likes of Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Koe Wetzel, Brantley Gilbert, Travis Tritt, Lee Brice, Nelly, Warren Zeiders, Big and Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Randy Houser and Uncle Kracker, among others, several of whom will be popping up again in 2025.
Noted as being more than a festival, but rather "a movement, a gathering of hardworking, God-fearing patriots who love America and believe in the power of live music to bring people together," it goes without saying that the Rock the Country festivals serve as a political event on some level.
In 2023, upon the initial announcement of the sprawling music event, Kid Rock noted that “Rock the Country is for everyone who makes this country run and loves America. Nobody knows how to party like Small Town America.”
