'There’s something special about connecting with fans in these communities, and we’re ready to bring our best and truly rock the country,' Nickelback bassist Michael Kroeger said.
Canadian rock band Nickelback is set to headline the 2025 edition of Rock the Country across the United States between April and July.
The upcoming travelling festival, with co-headliner Kid Rock, will make stops in 10 small towns across the U.S., beginning in Cullman, Ala., from June 19 to 21 and ending in Anderson, S.C., from July 25 to 26.
Rock the Country will also bring other big artists along for the multi-city festival, including Three Doors Down, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Hank Williams Jr., Big & Rich and more. Nickelback appears to be the only Canadian band on the docket.
“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!” Nickelback bassist Michael Kroeger said in a statement.
“It’s this simple, Rock The Country isn’t just a music festival, it’s a movement,” Kid Rock added. “It’s a place for hard-working, god-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music and the party of the year.”
Tickets for the festival range from US$140 for a general day pass to $620 for a weekend two-day VIP pass. Camping passes are also available, starting at $371.
“Yes, it’s a music festival. But many of us know now it’s more than just that. It’s a movement. It’s a celebration of hard-working, God-fearing patriots who love America. A gathering place where the beer pours, love flows and live music rains down like a monsoon,” Kid Rock said in a video announcing the festival. “A festival where we celebrate our military, first responders, Jesus and freedom. Do you believe in the power of music to bring people like us together?”
'Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence,' the Oscar-winning actor said.
