Headlining ALL ten Rock The Country festivals are none other than rock legends themselves—Nickelback, the chart-topping superstars, and Kid Rock, the one and only original American bad ass. Lineups will vary by market. The lineup for Ocala will feature powerhouse artists including: Hank Williams Jr., the legendary Tracey Lawrence, one of the hottest up and comers in country music, Gavin Adock, Jo Dee Messina, Diamond Rio, Mark Chesnutt, Sammy Kershaw, Little Texas, Hudson Westbrook, Logan Crosby, Afroman, Ying Yang Twins and Dee Jay Silver.

“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.
