Through its efforts, the festival has grown each year and contributed over $639,000 back to their local community to help charities including Cullman City Parks and Recreation, The Link of Cullman County and Cullman Caring for Kids. Rock the South has also assisted families and patients going through treatment.

The 2021 diverse music lineup experience included North Carolina native Luke Combs on Friday night which included an encore performing his classic "Beer Never Broke My Heart".  Luke's reputation is bolstered by many music awards backed by ACM, CMA, CMT, and Billboard.  Miranda Lambert closed out Rock the South Saturday night performing many crowd favorites including "Gunpowder & Lead", "White Trash", "Kerosene", and other hits.

Plans are ongoing to prepare for next year's festival with a post on the official Rock the South Facebook Page Sunday asking fans who they want to see on next year's lineup.
