DECATUR – To mark a new chapter of Rock the South in a new town, officials with the music festival have unveiled a lineup of country icons and rising stars for next year’s event.
Following 15 years in Cullman, Rock The South is entering a new era at its new site at The Fields at Decatur, June 11–13.
Headliners Jason Aldean, Riley Green, and Zach Top will be joined by an all-star mix of country icons and rising stars, including Jessie Murph, BigXthaPlug, Brantley Gilbert, Travis Tritt, Tracy Lawrence, Craig Morgan, Lauren Alaina, The Castellows, Austin Snell, Jake Worthington, Cole Goodwin, Graham Barham, and The Creekers.
“This lineup represents everything Rock The South stands for – country roots, Southern pride, and unforgettable live music,” said Nathan Baugh, CEO of Peachtree Entertainment, and Shane Quick, co-founder of Rock The South and president of Live Events at Peachtree Entertainment, in a joint statement. “From icons like Jason Aldean and Travis Tritt to the next generation of stars like Riley Green, Jessie Murph, and Zach Top, this year’s festival is a true celebration of where country music has been and where it’s headed.
“Moving to The Fields at Decatur allows us to take Rock The South to the next level. We’re building this site from the ground up for our fans, with more space, better access, and new ways to experience the music. This is the biggest and best Rock The South we’ve ever had, and it’s just the beginning of what’s ahead.”
The Fields at Decatur features over 150 usable acres designed for maximum comfort and flow, including expanded campgrounds with professionally engineered drainage, more shade and fan hangout areas, an enhanced VIP experience, and for the first time, a second stage presented by Raised Rowdy inside a new Fan Zone. The result is more music, louder nights, and bigger moments than ever before.
Rock The South will also support select charities from Decatur as well as in Cullman, officials said. Over the last 15 years, Rock The South has brought more than $150 million in economic impact to the city of Cullman, and with its move to Decatur, the festival is poised to generate economic opportunities for North Alabama through tourism, local business partnerships, and job creation.
“This year’s Rock The South lineup is one of the best yet, and we’re proud Decatur will be the stage for some outstanding performers,” said Decatur Mayor Tab Bowling. “Beyond the music, the festival brings visitors, energy, and economic impact that will ripple through our community and local businesses.
“It’s an exciting moment for Decatur and for everyone ready to celebrate ‘The Biggest Party in the South.’”
