Cullman Rocks the South!
Rock the South didn’t start as a massive music affair. Back in 2012, it was just a way for the Cullman community to come together, celebrating resilience and rebuilding after massive tornadoes and storms. But good things can’t stay small for long! Especially not in a place like Cullman, where Southern pride and a good time are practically in the water.
Fast forward to today, and Rock the South is a juggernaut, drawing upwards of 50,000 fans in 2024. This year’s 2025 lineup hits hard, blending the best of rock and country over three days (June 19-21).
Lineup Highlights:
- Thursday: Hank Williams Jr., Treaty Oak Revival, Clay Walker, Ty Myers, Hudson Westbrook, Dee Jay Silver
- Friday: Kid Rock, 3 Doors Down, Ole 60, Vincent Mason, Them Dirty Roses, Afroman, Dee Jay Silver
- Saturday: Nickelback, Gavin Adcock, Shenandoah, Bayker Blankenship, Cameron Whitcomb, Rehab, Dee Jay Silver
Throw in a few Alabama-based openers, and you’ve got a setlist worth every decibel!
Why Cullman? It’s the Vibe.
Part of Rock the South’s magic is its setting. Cullman’s small-town, big-heart vibe makes it feel like a family reunion with thousands of your closest friends. Plus, the city’s central location in North Alabama makes it an easy drive from Birmingham, Huntsville, and even Nashville! That convenience means folks roll in with tents, RVs, and a determination to make the most of every set.
Festival-goers can camp out right on the grounds—just a stone’s throw from the stage—or take advantage of nearby hotels that fill up months in advance. Food trucks line the pathways, slinging everything from smoked ribs to deep-fried Oreos, and local craft brews flow freely.
If camping isn’t your style, there’s the new VIP experience: air-conditioned lounges, premium seating, and dedicated viewing areas—perfect for those who like their music loud but their drinks cold.

Get Your Tickets—Before They’re Gone
With ticket levels ranging from general admission to the exclusive Front Porch experience, there’s a way for everyone to join the party. Be sure to snag yours early! Limited availability means prices will rise as showtime approaches! If you’re a student or “everyday” hero (military, firefighters, nurses), there are even special discounted rates just for you.
Whether you're road-tripping from across the state or just hopping over from down the street, Rock the South is more than just a music festival. It’s Cullman’s way of saying, “Y’all come on back now, you hear?”
