Kid Rock / Jason Aldean Concert Weekend

Rock The Country is scheduled to stop in Hastings, Michigan, on August 8 and 9, bringing Kid Rock, Jason Aldean and a multi-act country-rock lineup to the Barry Expo Center this weekend. The two-day event appears on the festival’s official Hastings page and on its lineup page, which list Hastings as one of the 2026 tour stops. Ticketing pages show weekend passes and single-day options still on sale as of Wednesday. The Hastings stop is part of the traveling Rock The Country festival, which the official site describes as a multi-city event.

(rockthecountry.com) Sunday, August 9, is billed around Jason Aldean, according to Bandsintown and other event listings. The same Michigan lineup listing says Sunday’s acts include Jason Aldean, Treaty Oak Revival, Chase Matthew, Shenandoah, The Creekers, Danny Worsnop, Sadie Bass, Colton Bowlin and Scott Wolverton. ### Where is the concert weekend taking place? (rockthecountry.com) Barry Expo Center is listed as the venue for the Hastings stop on the official festival page, Front Gate Tickets and multiple concert platforms. The address shown on official and ticketing pages is 1350 N. M-37 Highway in Hastings, Michigan. Hastings is the Michigan date on the 2026 Rock The Country routing shown on the festival lineup page. (bandsintown.com) The event is one of several announced stops on the circuit this year, alongside dates in places including Ashland, Kentucky, Ocala, Florida, and Hamburg, New York. ### What do tickets cost right now? Single-day general admission in Hastings starts at $133.55, according to the official Rock The Country Hastings page. (rockthecountry.com) The same page lists single-day GA+ starting at $216.23 and single-day VIP starting at $279.83, while a promotional note says taxes are processed separately. Weekend passes are also listed through Front Gate Tickets for the August 8-9 event. (rockthecountry.com) The Front Gate page says weekend general admission includes access for both days, along with festival vendors, bars, merchandise and activations, and notes that the ticket does not include a seat or chair. ### Is this a standalone Jason Aldean or Kid Rock show? (rockthecountry.com) Rock The Country is being sold as a festival-style weekend rather than a single-headliner arena date. Ticketing and lineup pages group Kid Rock, Jason Aldean and other acts under the Rock The Country brand for the Hastings stop, with separate daily billing and multi-day passes. Jason Aldean’s own broader 2026 touring plans are separate from the Hastings booking. (rockthecountry-hastings.frontgatetickets.com) JamBase reported earlier this year that Aldean announced 2026 summer and fall tour dates in support of his forthcoming album “Songs About Us,” while Ticketmaster also lists standalone Aldean dates outside the festival run. ### Where can people still find event details? (rockthecountry.com) The official Rock The Country Hastings page and the festival’s Front Gate ticketing page both list current ticket options and event details for August 8-9. Ticketmaster, Bandsintown and Songkick also continue to show the Hastings stop, with Kid Rock tied to August 8 and Jason Aldean tied to August 9 at Barry Expo Center. August 8 is the next scheduled date for the Hastings stop, with doors and set times reflected on ticketing pages rather than in a separate festival schedule posting visible in search results. (jambase.com) Weekend and single-day tickets remained listed online on August 6, two days before the event. (ticketmaster.com) (rockthecountry.com)
