Rock the South Relocates to Decatur in 2026 With New Permanent Site

Ownership of a purpose-built Decatur venue will let the festival expand capacity.

Overview

  • Organizers set June 11–13, 2026 for the festival’s debut at The Fields at Decatur, a site owned by promoter Peachtree Entertainment.
  • The new location offers more than 150 usable acres with two stages, expanded campgrounds featuring engineered drainage, increased shade, VIP areas, and dedicated fan zones.
  • Peachtree Entertainment leaders say the move creates a permanent home that enables long-term infrastructure and fan-focused improvements after years of growth.
  • The festival will continue supporting Cullman charities and will add Decatur organizations to its beneficiaries, according to organizers.
  • Cullman officials cited $150 million in economic impact over 14 years and $2 million donated to local causes, as organizers noted a 'record-breaking' 2025 without releasing attendance figures.
