ROCK THE COUNTRY 2025 COMING BACK
April 4 - July 26
THE GREAT AMERICAN FESTIVAL IS BRINGING ROCK & COUNTRY TO ASHLAND
Ashland, KY – Rock The Country, the two-day event – A Festival For We The People – will be returning to Ashland, KY on July 11-12, 2025, as the major country festival makes its official road trip across the country. Stopping in 10 cities along the way, Ashland will mark the eighth stop of the summer. 2025 is going to be a year that will go down in history, as Rock The Country will be bringing the best of both worlds together in uniting the country legend, Kid Rock, and the ultimate rockstars, Nickelback. With the country and rock genres joining forces, Rock The Country will truly be rocking the country all summer long.
Headlining ALL ten Rock The Country festivals are none other than rock legends themselves—Nickelback, the chart-topping superstars, and Kid Rock, the one and only original American bad ass. Lineups will vary by market. The lineup for Ashland will feature powerhouse artists including: Hank Williams Jr., the legendary Tracey Lawrence, Upchurch, Shenandoah, Mark Chesnutt, Kentucky Headhunters, Sammy Kershaw, Deana Carter, Hudson Westbrook, Them Dirty Roses, Afroman, Ying Yang Twins and Dee Jay Silver.
Rock The Country saw an incredible turn out in 2024 in Ashland. Boyd County Tourism provided data that showed the festival drawing around 30,000 people from more than 40 states and five countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Ireland. The county estimates the two-day music festival generated around $30 million for the Tri-State area. Rock The Country is excited to bring the event back to Ashland, and make an even bigger impact to Boyd County in 2025.
“We’re so excited to have Rock the Country back for Year Two! The festival brought people from 40 different states to visit Kentucky, as well as tens of millions of dollars in economic impact! We appreciate Peachtree Entertainment for taking a chance on us, and we can’t wait to have them back in 2025 with an even bigger lineup,” said Andrew Steele, Executive Director, Boyd County Tourism & Convention Bureau.
“It’s this simple, Rock The Country isn’t just a music festival, it’s a movement,” said Kid Rock. “It’s a place for hard working, God-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music and the party of the year.”
“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.
