Rock The Country Returns To Eight U.S. Cities In Celebration Of America’s 250th Anniversary

January 14, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Rock The Country will visit eight U.S. cities on the new “Rock The Country Tour,” a multi-city festival experience taking place from May through September.

The two-day events are built around lineups with artists including Kid Rock, Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, 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 more. Each stop will also feature daily throwback happy hour DJ sets and a special host appearance by Chelcie Lynn in select markets.

“It’s this simple. Rock The Country isn’t just a music festival; it’s a movement,” says Kid Rock. “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”.

“Rock The Country was built to honor the communities that don’t always get the spotlight, but show up with heart every single time,” says Nathan Baugh, CEO and Partner of Peachtree Entertainment.

“As we look ahead to 2026 and America’s 250th anniversary, we are raising the bar across the entire tour with bigger lineups, more intentional fan experiences, and meaningful investments in comfort and production,” adds Shane Quick, President of Live Events. “This is not just a tour. It is a celebration of the people, places, and music that define this country.”

New for 2026, Rock The Country is introducing Front Porch festival passes, designed for fans looking for the ultimate all-inclusive weekend. Each Front Porch pass includes seating with elevated sightlines, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and dinner curated by Chef David Bancroft, a dedicated entrance, a weekend parking pass, and additional premium amenities. In addition to Front Porch and VIP offerings, Rock The Country will offer single-day and weekend General Admission tickets, GA+ passes providing closest access to the stage, hotel packages, and camping options. Presale tickets begin Jan. 16 and fans can register for presale access at rockthecountry.com. Public on-sale begins Jan. 16 at 2 p.m. local time, with single day ticket prices starting at $89.99 plus fees or $149.99 plus fees for both days.
