Hot on the heels of Donald Trump’s re-election as President of the United States, Nickelback and Kid Rock will headline Peachtree Entertainment’s Rock the Country and Rock the South festivals, which will visit 11 small American towns next spring and summer.
Organizers say the events “stand as a movement honoring patriotism, camaraderie and music for hard-working Americans who embody the heart of this nation.” Added longtime vocal Trump supporter Kid Rock, “It’s a place for hard working, God-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music and the party of the year.”

Dates begin April 4-5 in Livingston, La., and conclude July 25-26 in Anderson, S.C., with the one-off, Pepsi-sponsored Rock the South returning to Cullman, Al., for its 13th edition on June 19-21.
Lineups will vary by location, but expect appearances by Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Three Doors Down, Travis Tritt, Gavin Adcock, Tracy Lawrence, Aaron Lewis and The Stateliners and Diamond Rio. Rock the County will also stage a ’90s Happy Hour with the Shenandoah, Mark Chestnutt, Jo Dee Messina, Sammy Kershaw, Dee Jay Silver and Deana Carter, plus decidedly non-country artists such as Afroman, Ying Yang Twins and Tone Loc.
Nickelback, which has posted massive box-office numbers since returning to the road in 2023, will will be playing “some of [its] only” shows of 2025 at the events. “There’s something special about connecting with fans in these communities, and we’re ready to bring our best and truly rock the country,” said group member Michael Kroeger.
