As previously reported, the Anderson, SC date of Kid Rock’s Rock The Country festival was recently cancelled after Shinedown, Ludacris, and more dropped off. Now, organizers have issued a new statement regarding the scrapped event, while also downplaying their right-wing political bent.
Organizers said the following:
“Rock The Country was created to unite people together through music. Our lineups and our crowds reflect that sentiment a wide range of voices, backgrounds, and stories that make up this country.
We’re truly disappointed we won’t be bringing the show to Anderson. Our fans work hard for their money, and we refuse to put on a show that doesn’t meet the standard they deserve.
Our focus remains where it’s always been: supporting our artists, honoring our fans, and delivering unforgettable nights throughout the country. The shows ahead represent the heart of what ‘Rock The Country’ stands for: music, community, and pride in where we come from.
Loving America isn’t political; it’s who we are.”
