Organizers announced that the annual Rock the South country music festival scheduled for next month has been canceled.

In a statement sent out Thursday morning, the company said the decision was made in conjunction with the city of Cullman.

“We have worked through the option of rescheduling, but have determined that the best decision is to cancel 2020. We are actively shifting our focus to building Pepsi Rock the South 2021 bigger and better than ever,” said Nathan Baugh, partner with Pepsi Rock the South.

Mayor Woody Jacobs added, “We appreciate Pepsi Rock the South putting the safety of our city and Rock the South fans at the top of its decision-making process. Cullman will be an incredible place to be in 2021 for Pepsi Rock the South.”

Ticket Buyers have the option of automatically applying their ticket for Rock the South 2021, donating their ticket funds, or receiving a refund. Donated ticket funds will be used in conjunction with Pepsi Rock the South’s donations to local food banks, including Cullman Caring for Kids and the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. In addition, Rock the South is donating thousands of masks to the Cullman County Commission on Aging to distribute to the high-risk community in Cullman County.
