Plans are in place for the 2026 run of the traveling ‘Rock The Country’ festival, with organizers unveiling a genre-spanning lineup for this year’s dates. Leading the bill once again is diamond-certified rap-rock and country crossover star Kid Rock. He’ll be joined by fellow diamond-certified rock veterans Creed, chart-topping hard rock favorites Shinedown, and a wide roster of country heavyweights such as Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, and others.
The bill also brings together a diverse mix of artists from across the rock, country, and hip-hop spectrum. Staind frontman Aaron Lewis is scheduled to appear with his backing band The Stateliners, while Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop is also set to perform. Adding an unexpected twist to the lineup, hip-hop icons Ludacris and Nelly are among the performers confirmed for select dates.
