The 2025 Pepsi Rock the South lineup has officially been announced by Peachtree Entertainment and organizers are saying that they expect this year’s festival to be bigger than ever before. Headlining acts of the event, now in its thirteenth year, will include Kid Rock, Nickelback, and Hank Williams Jr. The event is set for June 19-21 and as usual will be held in Cullman.
“We’re really looking forward to hitting the road and visiting some amazing towns, especially in places we’ve never played before,” said Michael Kroeger of Nickleback. “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!”
The festival will also feature renowned artists such as 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, and Dee Jay Silver.
Rock the South has been invaluable in raising funds for charitable organizations.
Shane Quick, Senior Promoter & Partner of Peachtree Entertainment, noted the event’s continued role in supporting organizations that help people every day in local Alabama communities.
“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 Quick. “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 Dept, Brook’s Place, Cullman Agriplex, Cullman Caring for Kids, Cullman County Imagination Library, Cullman VFW, Curt’s Closet, Good Samaritan Clinic, Les Dames, Restoring Women Outreach, Sisters United Recovery and The Link of Cullman County.
With attendance from fans from around the globe, Pepsi® Rock the South in Cullman County generates revenue exceeding $25 million annually
