CULLMAN, Ala. – Peachtree Entertainment on Tuesday announced that Kid Rock, Nickelback and Hank Williams Jr. will headline Rock the South June 19-21, 2025, in Cullman.
“Known as The Biggest Party In The South, Pepsi® Rock the South will once again bring together fans to celebrate music, community, and tradition. Celebrating its 13th year, this iconic festival is a tribute to Cullman and the values of small-town America,” said a media release.
Rock the South “generates revenue exceeding $25 million annually, as indicated by an economic impact report prepared by Cullman Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism (sic). The report was based on overall totals from ticket sales, lodging, transportation and food/beverages related to the three-day festival and visitors for the weekend.” (The Tribune has yet to verify this claim by Peachtree Entertainment, as CPRST stated the information did not come from its department as it is not the one responsible for keeping up with Rock the South-generated revenue. We have reached out to Holly Lollar and the Lollar Group, which handles PR for Rock the South, for more information.)
Additional artists will include Three Doors Down, Gavin Adock, Treaty Oak Revival, Ole 60, Shenandoah, Clay Walker, Vincent Mason, Bayker Blankenship, Ty Myers, Hudson Westbrook, Them Dirty Roses, Cameron Whitcomb andnd Dee Jay Silver.
“We’re really looking forward to hitting the road and visiting some amazing towns, especially in places we’ve never played before. There’s something special about connecting with fans in these communities, and we’re ready to bring our best and truly rock the country. Can’t wait to see you all out there!” said Michael Kroeger of Nickelback.
“This festival has been bringing the people of Cullman together for incredible music and unforgettable experiences for over a decade, driving significant economic impact for local businesses, as well as supporting nonprofit organizations throughout Alabama,” said Shane Quick, senior promoter & partner of Peachtree Entertainment. “Since 2012, Rock The South has given over $1.5 million back to our area charities.”
In 2024, Rock the South raised more than $75,000 for local Alabama-based and regional charities, including Bethsadia Volunteer Fire Department, Brooks’ Place, the North Alabama Agriplex, Cullman Caring for Kids, Cullman County Imagination Library, Cullman VFW, Curt’s Closet, Good Samaritan Health Clinic, Les Dames, Restoring Women Outreach, Sisters United Recovery and The Link of Cullman County.
