Tim McGraw, Darius Rucker to headline Rockin’ River 2022

The first lineup announcement ahead of Rockin’ River 2022 has been released with Tim McGraw and Darius Rucker headlining a talented list of artists set to come to the Nicola Valley this summer.

“I can’t begin to explain how happy I am to see the return of the Rockin River Music Festival,” said Merritt Mayor Linda Brown. “This has been an unquestionably challenging couple of years for the City of Merritt, culminating with the November 2021 flood. Now more than ever, we need things to be excited about. We need things to look forward to, that make us feel vibrant and remind us that life can and will be good again, even if times are hard right now. We are thrilled to be a small part in bringing the sounds of Rockin River back to the Nicola Valley!”

Three-time Grammy Award winning superstar Tim McGraw will mark his return to the Rockin River stage after playing in Merritt 17 years ago. Multi-platinum hit-making singer and songwriter Darius Rucker will also head this year’s stellar lineup.
