Alabama NewsCenter — Rock The Country to bring all-star lineup to South Alabama

By: SoulGrown

Thousands of Alabamians gathered in the fall of 2012 for the wildly successful Rock The South festival, and it has been a highly anticipated event ever since. Now, the producers of Rock The South have launched Rock The Country – a two-day “festival for the people.” The seven massive shows are coming to smaller cities across the South, including Mobile, with a lineup stacked with superstars alongside current country music favorites.

The two names drawing the most attention are the festival’s headliners: Jason Aldean and Kid Rock. Aldean boasts 28 No. 1 hits and over 18 billion streams with more than 20 million albums sold. Kid Rock has sold over 30 million records worldwide, holds the Michigan record for most tickets sold, with 150,000 for 10 consecutive sold-out shows, and holds the attendance record at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena with 86,893 attendees in six sold-out shows.

Other big acts scheduled to play the new festival include Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr., Uncle Kracker and Big & Rich featuring Gretchen Wilson. The festival kicks off in April with Aldean and Rock headlining all seven shows. The rest of the lineup varies by market. The show hits Mobile June 21-22.
