Rock the South just confirmed two of country music’s biggest stars to headline the Cullman, Alabama based festival in 2020.

Announced Friday (Jan. 31), Luke Combs and Eric Church will headline this year’s festival, taking place May 29-30.

Joining Combs and Church are Brothers Osborne, Ashley McBryde, Diamond Rio, Tracy Byrd, Drew Parker, Dee White, Ashland Craft, Kameron Marlowe and Dee Jay Silver. The festival has yet to announce a specific schedule for the two-day event.

Fans will have access to purchase pre-sale tickets from February 7 through February 9. During this time, tickets will be offered for $70 off the gate price.

Fans can visit Rock the South’s official website for additional details.

Rock the South, now in its 9th year, has previously featured performances from artists such as Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Florida Georiga Line and Dierks Bentley. The festival was originally founded as a one-time event to help the area following deadly tornados. It has since grown to become an annual event.
