    Rock the Heartland

    Scout Hall
    12:00 PM - 04:00 PM on Sat, 30 Aug 2025

    Calling all under-21 rockers, rebels, and rising stars! Get ready to crank it to eleven!

    Rock the Heartland is here to light up Southeast Missouri with the raw energy of young musicians keeping the soul of rock n’ roll alive. Whether you’re a solo shredder, a dynamic duo, or a full-blown band, this is your shot to make some serious noise and show the world what the next generation of sound is made of. Born in garages, school gyms, and backyard bonfires, rock n’ roll is the beating heart of the Midwest. Let’s keep that pulse alive by giving young musicians the chance to rise up, plug in, and play LOUD.

    This isn’t just a competition—it’s an experience.- Day One is all about leveling up your skills with rock education workshops led by pros in the industry.- Day Two is your moment in the spotlight—an all-out musical battle in front of a live crowd and panel of judges ready to crown the next kings and queens of the heartland scene.

    Powered by Passion, Backed by Legends.
