Sioux Falls chosen to host 2-day country, rock event

Sioux Falls is one of 10 cities chosen to host a touring two-day rock and country music festival.

Rock the Country — A Festival for We the People will be here July 18-19, 2025.

“This festival is our way of giving back to communities and providing an experience like never before. We are passionate about curating an event that combines top-tier musical talent with the charm of small-town America, and we can’t wait for fans to join us on this historic musical journey,” Nathan Baugh, CEO of Peachtree Entertainment, said in a statement.

“We know those attending Rock the Country in Sioux Falls will enjoy a jam-packed variety of music performances, amazing food and a sense of community that only southeastern South Dakota can offer.”

A location wasn’t announced.

This year’s seven-city tour included Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr. and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The tour is a joint venture between concert promoter Peachtree Entertainment and LiveCo, a private equity-backed entertainment company producing over 3,000 live shows annually across multiple genres. Locally, Pepper Entertainment is partnering to put on the event.

This concert event is different from the Lallycooler Music Festival, which will be July 11-12 at Great Bear Ski Valley and is produced by Washington Pavilion Management and 3e Encore.
