The biggest party in the South, Rock the South, is raring and ready to raise hell in Cullman, Alabama, and they’re celebrating country music for three full days at York Farm from July 18-20, 2024. And they’ve got a whole array of artists – from the classic ones to today’s biggest stars – to grace their stage. 

Top billing the roster are three of the best heavy hitters in the genre: one of the most respected figures, Eric Church, the redneck singer-songwriter HARDY, and country music royalty Jelly Roll. Supporting them are Parker McCollum and Oliver Anthony, along with a stellar artist list.

Rock the South started in 2012 as a celebration of recovery from the tornadoes that ripped through the state. It was meant to be a one-time event, but it soon grew to be a staple in the country music community. And they’ve always brought in A-listers, just like last year’s edition, featuring Christ Stapleton, Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, and Riley Green as main acts, attracting over 100,000 people across the 3-day event. 

And before we forget, take note of the theme days to pack for your outfit of the day photos. Thursday’s Party in the USA, Friday’s Duck Calls and Overalls, and Saturday’s Coastal Cowboy.

Ticket proceeds will benefit multiple community partners, such as Cullman City Parks and Recreation, The Link of Cullman County, Cullman Caring for Kids, Curts Closet, Alabama Veterans, and many others.

There is no clear bag policy for the event, but all bags will be searched to prevent items like umbrellas, cameras, and chain wallets from being entered inside. Additionally, like most festivals, outside food and beverages are not allowed inside. Once you’re in, there is no re-entry unless you have a Car Camping or RV Wristband.

But don’t worry, you can buy what you need at the General Store. it’s a one-stop shop for your essentials. For food, they have over 25 selections, offering a wide variety of cuisine. And that’s not even the best part. 

They’ve launched a new way to pay for these items through RFID wristbands easily. Connect your card and just do a quick tap payment. This feature allows efficient transactions at the festival. But, vendors still accept cash and credit to provide multiple payment options and make your purchases as convenient as possible.
