The Rock The South Festival has shifted dates and expanded from three days to four Oct. 1-4, with a newly revealed lineup, marking a major new chapter for the festival as it moves to its brand new home, The Fields at Decatur in Alabama.

Rock the South 2026 headliners Jason Aldean, Riley Green, Zach Top and Jessie Murph will be joined by an all-star mix of country icons and rising stars, and over 30 artists will perform at the new four-day event which will also feature a Midway Fair including carnival rides, games, fair food and more. This exciting addition marks the first time Decatur has had a fair since 2018 and the first time ever that Rock The South has hosted a fair as part of its annual event.

Among the additional artists set to perform during the four-day event are Aniston Pate, Austin Snell, Ava Hall, Avery Anna, BigXThaPlug, Brantley Gilbert, Callie Prince, Cody Lohden, Cole Goodwin, Connor Hicks, Craig Morgan, Emmy Moyen, Ethan Garner, Grace Tyler, Graham Barham, Ian Harrison, Jay Webb, Kameron Marlowe, KG and the Bad Habits, Lakeview, Myles Morgan, Phil Kane, Stella Lefty, The Band Perry, The Castellows, The Creekers, Titus Thornton and Tyler Nance.
