Cockstock Tickets

Cockstock is a dynamic hip-hop performer whose roots run deep in the South Carolina music scene. Born from a collaboration between Gamecock Entertainment and Carolina Productions, Cockstock emerged as a campus-driven platform for innovative rap and energetic live shows. Since the program’s inception in 2016, Cockstock has grown into a trusted name for college crowds seeking authentic, high-energy performances. The event has featured a lineup of notable headliners and continues to evolve with each year’s campus-hosted experience.

On the broader stage, Cockstock shares its name with a separate 2012 London-based festival, but the USC Cockstock experience is a distinctly American campus tradition built around community, live music, and standout performances.
