Rock ALS Festival
September 26, 2026

On September 26, 2026, Rock ALS will be bringing an unforgettable day of live music to a private farm in Sheldon, Illinois - all in support of Hop On A Cure. This year’s event will be headlined by acclaimed country artist Drake White and John Driskell Hopkins (a founding member of GRAMMY® Award-winning group Zac Brown Band) with additional performers set to be announced at a later date. Set against the scenic backdrop of a private riverside farm, the Rock ALS Festival offers an intimate outdoor concert experience unlike any other. More than just a concert, Rock ALS is a gathering rooted in purpose - uniting fans, artists, and advocates in support of groundbreaking research and the mission to end ALS. Tickets range from $100 for presale adult GA tickets, $30 for kids under 13 and are on sale now here. Sponsorship opportunities can be found here.
The event was created in partnership with Hop On A Cure, a leading non-profit in ALS research which started in 2022 after Hopkins' own ALS diagnosis. Hop On A Cure has given over $5 million in grants to research programs at notable hospitals across the country. The funding supports a diverse portfolio of innovative research efforts, including artificial intelligence-driven drug discovery, gene therapy, biomarker identification, and advanced disease modeling.


“Today is the only day that we are given. Life is a festival you should be living.” John Driskell Hopkins.
