Casting Crowns and Cain Headline Dollywood’s Rock The Smokies
Get ready to be uplifted at Dollywood’s popular contemporary Christian festival, Rock the Smokies! On Saturday, August 17th, the event features headline performances in Celebrity Theater by Casting Crowns and CAIN.
Celebrating two decades of powerful music, Casting Crowns arrives fresh off their “Healer” tour. Lead singer Mark Hall reveals that the album, packed with inspirational songs, was born from the challenges of the pandemic.

“I was walking through the world when it began to shut down, just like everybody else,” Hall started. “I’ve been a youth pastor for over 20 years, and here I was counseling teenagers who’d just lost their senior year, lost their friend groups, felt hopeless for the future. As I started working on this record, I realized all the songs I was writing dealt with healing in some way, something we all need. And more than that, we need a Healer. This whole album is about healing, about how God meets us where we are and what His healing looks like.”
Sibling group CAIN quickly became a household name when their debut single “Rise Up (Lazarus)” was released in 2020. The trio of pastor’s kids from Hartselle, Alabama, has performed at The Grand Ole Opry, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Ryman Auditorium alongside some of the most successful artists in the genre. The headlining concerts are emceed by Heath Arthur, Christian actor, comedian and entertainer.
Additionally, Rock the Smokies features several other contemporary Christian artists performing on stages throughout the park. Those artists include Chris Ekiss, Lizzie Morgan, Riley Clemmons, and Ryan Ellis. All performances outside of Celebrity Theater are free with park admission.
