The tour goes to limited cities throughout the summer and will have different acts on every night in each city with Kid Rock appearing on almost all. The festival started during COVID where towns in southern America were 'open' for concerts. It became such a popular tour that it continued, but they had to change the name from 'Rock the South' to 'Rock the Country'.

The tour will go to eight different small towns on eight different weekends this Summer with the Hamburg Fairgrounds location being the Grand finale of the year. It is about the time of the year that concerts will start to roll out their schedules and we will find out who's coming to Western New York and all of the small and large venues and what days.
