Rock the South Just Got Bigger: A Fourth Day and a Full-Blown Fair Are Coming Rock the South is adding more than just another day this year. A full Midway Fair will be part of the event for the first time ever, bringing carnival rides, games and classic fair food to the festival grounds. The festival will now run four days, October 1 through 4, 2026, at The Fields at Decatur. Along with the new midway, the lineup includes Jason Aldean, Riley Green, Brantley Gilbert, Jessie Murph and more. If you've ever wanted to pair a concert with a funnel cake and a ride on the Ferris wheel, this year's Rock the South might be your chance. A Rock the South festival ticket is required and is sold separately. Pick your party at rockthesouth.com
