In 2026, Rock the Country will be back and bigger than ever, all to ring in America's 250th year of independence.
The event – described as "A Festival for the People" – will occur across multiple days and multiple small towns throughout the summer and fall, a caravan of country stars in tow.
Where last year saw Kid Rock and Nickelback command the massive event, 2026 will witness the return of Rock, alongside Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton, in the headlining slots.

From May to September, Rock the Country will infiltrate Small Town, USA, making stops at fairgrounds and farmland as far south as Florida and as far north as Upstate New York. Along the way, Bellville, TX; Bloomingdale, GA; Sioux Falls, SD; Ashland, KY; Anderson, SC; Hastings, MI; Ocala, FL; and Hamburg, NY will all get a taste of what Rock the Country has to offer.
The festival tour will feature a variety of artists, both new and well-loved, including Creed, Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., Shinedown, Jon Pardi, Ella Langley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Brantley Gilbert, Treaty Oak Revival, Gavin Adcock, Ludacris, Nelly, and many more.
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 have been along for the ride ever since.
One of the festival's ever-recurring acts, Kid Rock, has described Rock the Country as more than a traveling festival but rather a "movement."
In a statement, he shared, "In 2026, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this is a place for hard-working, God-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music, and the party of the year."
