Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creed are among the artists who will perform at the 2026 edition of Rock the Country.
The traveling festival was launched in 2024 with Kid Rock and Jason Aldean as the initial headliners. The pair are once again part of this year’s outing, which will continue to focus on bringing a big show to small towns across the U.S. The trek is set to launch May 1 in Bellville, Texas and will wrap up Sept. 12 in Hamburg, New York.
The Detroit-bred artist described Rock the Country in a 2024 post on his social media. He called it, “more than a festival; it’s a movement, a gathering of hardworking, God-fearing patriots who love America and believe in the power of live music to bring people together. Here, the beer flows, the love pours, and the music rains down like a monsoon.”
