Headlining the Rock the Country “small town” music festival tour’s 2025 edition are Kid Rock and Nickelback.

Kid Rock wants to compile “God-fearing patriots” once more for the Rock the Country tour in 2025. Between April and July, Nickelback will also headline the festival, making stops in 11 “small towns” all throughout the US—four more locations than the first run this year.

“Rock the Country is a movement, not just a music festival,” co-founder of the event Kid Rock declared. “This is a place for hardworking, god-fearing patriots to come as one and celebrate freedom, music, and the party of the year.”

With plenty of Trump 2024 merchandise and a special visit by commentator Tucker Carlson, this year’s Rock the Country was more than just politically relevant. Even Donald Trump personally sent a video message running during Kid Rock’s set. Kid Rock has doubled down on his endorsement of Trump, particularly given the Republican’s advantage in the 2024 presidential contest calls.
