The Rock the South music festival in Decatur, Alabama has been rescheduled to October 1-4 due to severe weather conditions that caused extensive rainfall. All headliners will still perform, and the event will now span four days, adding a new headliner, Jessie Murph, to the lineup.
Reasons for Postponement
This year’s Rock the South festival faced significant challenges as organizers were compelled to postpone the event due to “unprecedented amounts of rainfall” across Alabama. The City of Decatur, along with the festival organizers, decided that the conditions at the venue were unsafe for both attendees and artists. Acknowledging the impact of the weather, a statement emphasized the importance of safety and the need for an enjoyable experience.
Updated Lineup and Schedule
Despite the postponement, festival-goers can look forward to an exciting lineup as all three previously announced headliners—Zach Top, Jason Aldean, and Riley Green—remain committed to the new dates. The festival will expand to four days, introducing Jessie Murph as a new headliner on Saturday, October 3. Organizers are optimistic that most scheduled artists will be available, and an updated daily schedule is expected in the coming weeks.

Organizers will send out emails next week with further information for those who may not be able to attend in October.
