Twenty-five years after redefining the possibilities of bluegrass with their groundbreaking hillbilly interpretations of rock classics, Hayseed Dixie is celebrating a major milestone with an extensive 25th Anniversary Tour and the release of their latest album, Rockgrass Outlaws.
Since bursting onto the international music scene in 2001 with A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, Hayseed Dixie has built a devoted global following through relentless touring, virtuosic musicianship, and a unique ability to bridge the worlds of bluegrass, rock, and country music. Over the past quarter-century, the band has become one of the most recognisable and enduring acts in the roots music world.
Now, with Rockgrass Outlaws, Hayseed Dixie returns to the music that inspired the spirit of the band from the very beginning. Rather than reimagining rock anthems, the new album embraces classic outlaw country songs, delivered with the group's trademark energy, precision, and authenticity. Recorded live in the studio, the collection features timeless country standards that showcase a deeper connection to traditional American roots music while remaining unmistakably Hayseed Dixie.
The album highlights Hayseed Dixie's ongoing commitment to original roots and country influences. Fans can expect faithful yet spirited interpretations of songs made famous by some of country music's most iconic storytellers, all delivered through the band's distinctive blend of banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and unmistakable attitude. To celebrate both the album and the band's silver anniversary, Hayseed Dixie will embark on an extensive tour throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe, bringing their acclaimed live show to audiences old and new throughout 2026.
