Kid Rock’s Bringing His Summer Festival to Michigan – But Read the Fine Print

Kid Rock just announced a 2025 tour that will take the star to ten towns across the United States, with a 2-day festival in each one - and Hastings, Michigan, is on the list.

Located midway between Grand Rapids and Battle Creek, Hastings is home to a little more than 7,500 residents. Its population on June 13-14, 2025, is likely to swell much bigger than that.

Billed as "A Festival for We the People", Rock the Country 2025 boasts a number of well-known and popular musical acts including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams, Jr., and Nickelback, among others.

A total of more than two dozen musical acts are slated to be part of the festival, but before you buy your tickets, make sure to understand that not all artists listed on the festival's promotional poster are slated to appear at every stop along the tour.

Who's Going to Be With Kid Rock in Hastings, Michigan?

Nickelback is the only act that will be with Kid Rock at every stop along his 2025 tour, including the one in Hastings.

Lynyrd Skynyrd will be Hastings as well, but if you were looking forward to seeing Hank Jr. there, you're out of luck. He's not currently scheduled to make an appearance at the Michigan stop.

Rock the Country Artists Who Won't Be in Hastings

Just to be clear, even though they're on the festival's promotional poster, there are several artists who are not expected to be part of the Rock the Country 2025 lineup the weekend it makes its way to Michigan. That list is actually longer than the list of the ones who are.
