The highly anticipated 2026 Rock the Country festival tour is set to hit eight U.S. cities, bringing together an exciting lineup of renowned artists. Among those scheduled to perform are country and rock icons such as Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Creed, Jelly Roll, and Blake Shelton, with performances slated from May to September.
In addition to the headliners, the festival will feature a diverse range of artists including Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., Shinedown, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, ensuring a well-rounded experience for attendees. The tour will see two-day stops in various locations, including Bellville, Texas; Bloomingdale, Georgia; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Ashland, Kentucky; Anderson, South Carolina; Hastings, Michigan; Ocala, Florida; and Hamburg, New York.
Kid Rock, who will co-headline in several cities, expressed his enthusiasm for the festival, stating, “Rock the Country isn’t just a music festival; it’s a movement. 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.”
Notably, Ludacris, who was initially announced as part of the lineup, will no longer participate due to a scheduling error, as confirmed by his representative. Additionally, artists Carter Faith and Morgan Wade have also exited the lineup following the festival’s original announcement.
Each tour stop promises not only an incredible musical lineup but also daily throwback happy hour DJ sets and special host appearances by Chelcie Lynn in select markets. Tickets are currently available through Ticketmaster, and more information can be found on the official Rock the Country website. This festival aims to unite fans in a celebratory atmosphere, highlighting the spirit of music and community as the nation approaches a significant milestone.
