Rock the South Just Revealed Its Full Daily Lineup and It Is Moving to a Brand New Home This June

One of the South's longest-running country music traditions is about to write a new chapter - and the lineup just dropped.

Rock the South 2026 is set for June 11-13 at The Fields at Decatur in Decatur, Alabama - marking the festival's first year at its new home after 15 years in Cullman. The daily lineup was confirmed this week, and it is worth circling on the calendar.

Here is who is playing each day:

Thursday, June 11 - Zach Top, Travis Tritt, and Tracy Lawrence headline the opening night.

Friday, June 12 - Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert lead a night that also features BigXthaPlug.

Saturday, June 13 - Riley Green closes out the weekend alongside Jessie Murph and Craig Morgan. 

Lauren Alaina is also on the bill across the weekend - making this her second major tour announcement in as many days after her Stages Tour news earlier this week.

New this year: Rock the South is introducing a second stage - the Raised Rowdy Stage - dedicated to spotlighting emerging artists. For fans who like discovering new names before they blow up, that stage is worth showing up early for.

The new Fields at Decatur site spans over 150 acres and features expanded campgrounds, improved drainage, more shade, and a brand new Fan Zone - all upgrades the festival's founders said were made possible because, for the first time, they now own the land. 

For a festival that was built on the idea of community, Southern hospitality, and music that means something, moving to a venue you own feels like the right kind of milestone. Festival founders Shane Quick and Nathan Baugh said the goal is to create an experience that delivers great entertainment while leaving a lasting positive impact on the host community. That is a vision worth showing up for.

General admission and VIP tickets are available now starting at $141.99, with hotel bundles and parking passes also available at RockTheSouth.com.
