Rock the Country 2025 Lineup and Ticket Schedule
Want a musical road trip through small-town America? Because the Rock the Country tour is coming your way! Co-headlined by Kid Rock and Nickelback, this traveling festival kicks off July 11th in Ashland, KY, continuing through July 26th in Anderson, SC.
“Rock The Country is more than just a festival — it’s a gathering for the true heart of America,” reads the official website. “This is where hardworking, God-fearing patriots unite under the open sky, celebrating the freedom we hold dear and the power of live music to connect us all. With every note that fills the air, every raised glass, and every shout of excitement, we create memories that honor the spirit of We The People.”
The kicker? Nickelback is technically Canadian, but nobody cares! The group, alongside Rock, are the epitome unapologetic rock, country rock, and the kind of anthems made for tailgates and fire pits. While they generally play arenas, these artists couldn’t resist the chance to hit up some underrated cities. You know, the ones that big tours generally skip…because they deserve to Rock the Country, too.
Who else is on the lineup for this touring festival? Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Travis Tritt, Tracy Lawrence and more. And it’s going to be the definition of “a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.” This is the kind of show where you swap beers with your neighbor, wave flags with strangers, and scream the lyrics to “Photograph” and “All Summer Long” like it’s 2005 all over again.
And don’t be surprised if there’s a few fun curveballs — past years have brought out surprise guests, themed happy hour sets, and a few left-field appearances to keep the party going. We can’t stress it enough…this is basically a big tailgate, just with more famous guests and some grilled Southern barbecue, instead of basic sandwiches and chips. What’s not to love?
So now, there’s only one thing to do. Set up your truck, grab some merch, and hang out while the bands roll through their sound checks. But you’ll need tickets first! Reserve your spot at Rock the Country today.
