[DemocratSinceBirth]

Rock the Country, Kid Rock’s country music festival that critics have labeled a “MAGA fest,” has been canceled in South Carolina after a string of artists dropped out.

The multi-city festival was scheduled to run for two days per venue in eight U.S. states from May 1 to September 21.

2. What a shame

[Wednesdays]

4. Yup.

[generalbetrayus]

3. BWA HA HA HA HA!

Let it die an ignominious death everywhere.

[mwmisses4289]

5. Ah, that's why I was confused! He is doing two music things!

I thought it was the whites only superbore show that got cancelled.

[stopdiggin]

9. caught me too

'course - the amount of attention I can generally spare for these low rent cretins - is in the lower reaches ...

[ShazzieB]

39. I didn't know about any of this until now!

Kid Rock is just not on my radar. I ignore his existence completely except for when he pops up in a DU post lIke now.

However, now that I know about this, I hope it's just the first of many such cancellations and this whole multi city festival thing collapses like a deflated balloon. He deserves it for being such a visible Trump s booster.

[Boomerproud]

14. I'm confused too. Turning Point is/was sponsoring the "alternate " half-time show, right?

?

[mwmisses4289]

17. I believe so, can't remember if kid rock is a performer or the m.c. for the supebore alternate reality halftime show.

[Crowman2009]

58. He'll start off saying: Muthaf***in' TPUSA's got christ's love up in this b***t!

[Boomerproud]

18. Never mind. The Turning Point show is being broadcast on OAN and Trinity Broadcasting.

Record audience I'm sure.

[ironman99]

33. Record Audiences?

That must be 2 viewers

[DBoon]

40. all the russian bots will be watching

[Roy Rolling]

6. Canceled?

Or never was gonna happen?

More tbs—-Trump Bullshit.

Nobody with money would sponsor such a losing concert and OranJello is a deadbeat. Same as the Melanie movie—all bribe and no entertainment.

13. The "Rock the Country" festival tour was announced in January

It is a 2-day "festival" concert with dozens of mostly country artists participating. There are still 7 cities participating.



Bellville, TX · May 1-2
Bloomingdale, GA · May 29-30
Sioux Falls, SD · June 27-28
Ashland, KY · July 10-11
Hastings, MI · August 8-9
Ocala, FL · August 28-29
Hamburg, NY · September 11-12

Just a couple notable artists are involved. Most performers are compete nobodies. The Hamburg NY lineup is particularly weak:

Kid Rock · Hank Williams Jr. · Gavin Adcock · Chris Janson · Nelly · Shenandoah · Josh Ross · Cole Goodwin · Sadie Bass · The Jack Wharff Band · Sons of Habit · Dalton Davis · Joe Jordan · Connor Hicks · Kenny Whitmire · Emmy Moyen · Callie Prince

I mean, who are most of these people? And the cheapest tickets are $144! It will not be surprising if more shows get canelled due to lack of ticket sales.

19. Creed, Shinedown, and Ludacris don't appear on the websites lineup anymore

This is a good thing! It'd be disappointing to see them at the other cities.

[Wiz Imp]

21. Right. And they were 3 of the biggest names participating.

I'm surprised to see Miranda Lambert still on the bill in GA. She has been historically very apolitical and is a big supporter of the LGBTQ community.

[Ars Longa]

28. Good thing Ludacris didn't quit his day job at the

Transmission shop (per the Endurance Auto-scam ads).

[Dave Bowman]

32. The only names I recognize are Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr. who's another racist looser.

[progressoid]

7. Heh.

Free markets assholes!

[barbtries]

8. thank you.

i chuckled. fuck all the magats.

[liberalla]

10. So, just the SC one... not all eight states???

We can expect those announcements soon, I would guess!

This must be so disappointing for those losers... but on the other hand it's providing so many other people with some great news to start their day!

[Traildogbob]

11. Sad

Think of all the MAGA’s that could have shared measles. No worries SC, Graham and Timmy Scott is all over stopping the outbreak, when not golfing with Trump for orders.

[Lanius]

35. Lol yeah these concerts would have been COVID and measles super-spreader events.

But I wonder what ratio of these freaks has actually gotten vaccinated secretly but tells their friends they didn't?

[Traildogbob]

41. My concern

Is the Dems that will be collateral damage from theses idiots. Hopefully their vaccinations will protect them. And the red hats will have red spots to match.

[pandr32]

12. I hope the reality sinks in to these MAGAts.

They are far from the heartbeat of our country. They are the lice.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. LOL

A 2001 Kid Rock song is going viral for its lyrics about underage girls.

Kid Rock is set to headline Turning Point USA's Super Bowl halftime show this weekend.

[llmart]

24. Did he write those lyrics because...

not only are they creepy, they're idiotic.

Kid Rock is no more country than I am. He's basically a poser.

[AverageOldGuy]

16. So what do I do with my tickets???

Maybe Erika Kirk will send a refund??

[CaptainTruth]

20. Gosh, I'm so not sad.

[Solly Mack]

22. Oh, the humanity!

Why, God?!?! Why?!?!

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. That would be FAR more Bob RIchie than the world needs.

In total, until the sun goes nova...or dwindles down to a charred cinder. A decent metaphor for him, IMO.

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. Gee, that's too bad

I was so looking forward to it 😜



I guess hate isn't selling anymore.

[paleotn]

26. ...........

[ToxMarz]

27. Lets all have big Bud Light toast to that

?si=BnxYdLSRzXJeywGv

[wolfie001]

49. I drink Smithwick's red beer from Ireland and it's delicious!

Maybe 1 can every 3 weeks (total lightweight) but my next purchase this week will be a 12-pk of Bud Light!!!

[Figarosmom]

29. I bet there were

Very few ticket sales too and he would have lost $$$$$$and that's why it was canceled.

[twodogsbarking]

30. He's booked full-time at The Former Kennedy Center. Military members will be rquired to attend.

[RockRaven]

31. Reflect their own words back at them if they complain: "fuck your feelings!"

[Zelda_Orchid]

34. I did not know that South Carolina had noise ordinances.

[Blue Owl]

36. Noooo.... Not the Lollapedophile Festival!!!!1!!

[Seinan Sensei]

45. Pedophile-a- palooza

[Tribetime]

37. Should rename himself senior jell-o

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. This thread blew up...

[MorbidButterflyTat]

42. Awwwwwwwwwww Boo hoo

That's so sad.




I mean too bad!

[Ninga]

43. Oh dear hearts! Perhaps sucky Bezos forgot to

buy his block of tix

[GoodRaisin]

44. Surprised they didn't just bring in Ted Nugent and Lara Trump

to sing.

[JI7]

46. If country singers are canceling on them

What do they have left ?

Kanye ? Nikki Minaj ? Is Ted Nugent still alive ?

[Iggo]

48. Oh, haven't you heard? Kanye is now sorry for being a nazi.

Yeah, apparently he bumped his head or something when he was younger and it caused delayed nazism in his 40s.

[Crowman2009]

57. He's only sorry because he's bleeding cash.

Right before the album drop I bet.

[Marie Marie]

47. I hear Melania does a sing-along to Michael Jackson. If she can moonwalk then there's your act right there..

PS. The sing along to Billie Jean in her heavy IMMIGRANT accent must be thing to behold.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

50. Lol

[SunImp]

51. Go Fash, No Cash!

[badhair77]

52. Should have called it "Loser Fest."

[Ray Bruns]

53. I'm sure his dozens of fans are disappointed.

[Jarqui]

54. Free tickets for ICE ??? ...nt

[jmowreader]

55. I suspect the artists saw the writing on the wall

Appearing on the same stage as the guy headlining Erika Kirk's Anti Bad Bunny Fest might impact their careers.

[underpants]

56. What the hell is Ludacris doing on the bill?

[ABC123Easy]

59. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[LetMyPeopleVote]

60. This made me smile

[Initech]

61. Looks like the whole tour has been canceled!

Sorry MAGA, if we can't have nice things, neither can you. Thank your shitty president for that.

[B.See]

62. ... 'great again.'

[mwb970]

63. Does "Kid Rock" think that he is talented and respected?

He is neither.
