Hang on, Austin County — because Bellville is about to get loud!
Rock the Country will take over the Austin County Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, May 1–2, 2026, bringing a two-day country and southern rock festival to the heart of Austin County.
Event organizers with Peachtree Entertainment are billing Rock the Country as “A Festival for the People,” celebrating 250 years of freedom with multiple stages and two full days of live music.
Friday night will feature headliners Jason Aldean and Ella Langley, joined by Chase Matthew, Shenandoah, Josh Meloy, Josh Ward, Gannon Fremin & CCREV, Gracee Shriver, and Tommy Acker.
Saturday’s lineup will bring Kid Rock and Brantley Gilbert to the stage, along with Aaron Lewis and the Stateliners, Diamond Rio, Tanner Usrey, the Logan Ryan Band, Jackson Wendell, Connor Hicks, and Callie Prince.
New for 2026, organizers will introduce the Raised Rowdy Stage, expanding live performances throughout the weekend. The festival will also include daily Throwback Happy Hour DJ sets.
