Hands Across Decatur

Concerning Rock the South… this is the announcement made this morning:

Due to unprecedented amounts of rainfall across the state of Alabama this past week, the City of Decatur and organizers of Rock the South music festival today announced the rescheduling of the festival from this coming weekend to the weekend of October 1st through 4th.

“The monumental amount of rain that has fallen at the event site gives us no choice but to postpone the festival,” said festival organizers. “We are thankful that the headliners are available for the new dates, and appreciate the patience and support of all involved as we look to put on a great Rock the South later this year.”

All three previously announced headliners remain on the lineup: Zach Top on Thursday, Oct. 1; Jason Aldean on Friday, Oct. 2; and Riley Green on Sunday, Oct.4. The festival weekend will now expand to four days with a headlining performance from Jessie Murph on Saturday, Oct. 3 at no additional cost to ticket holders.

Most scheduled artists are able to perform on the revised dates, and festival organizers will announce the updated daily lineup in the coming weeks.

“The safety of our festival attendees, artists, and staff is paramount, and we’re confident that the rescheduled dates will ensure an enjoyable festival experience for all,” they continued.

Festival tickets and camping packages for the original dates will be honored on the newly rescheduled dates. Festival organizers will email purchasers next week with details for those unable to attend Rock the South this October.
