Rock The Country Festival Cancelled In Anderson, SC
The Anderson, SC date of Kid Rock’s Rock The Country festival has now been cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” This news comes after Shinedown, Ludacris, etc. pulled out of the event.
The Anderson County Administrator told Fox Carolina the following about the cancellation:
“Anderson County has been proud to host Rock the Country for the past two years. The event was a huge success drawing tens of thousands of visitors, making a multi-million-dollar economic impact on the Upstate. An event of this caliber proved what a great venue and exceptional hospitality we have here in Anderson County. Of course, we are disappointed that Rock the Country will not return to Anderson this year.
We are already planning additional major events and look forward to exciting announcements to come. Anderson County is committed to bringing high quality arts and entertainment to our community.”
The remaining dates are expected to continue as planned. However, the festival has proven to be controversial due to its MAGA-leaning lineup.

The S.E.T. Fire Guitarist Brady Ebert (Ex-Turnstile)
The S.E.T. have parted ways with guitarist Brady Ebert. This news comes after he recently blasted his former band Turnstile.
The S.E.T. commented:
“Brady is no longer a member of THE S.E.T. We will not stand by his ridiculous comments and behavior toward the members of our band and our community. We will continue to put on for Baltimore hardcore and thank everyone for their support.”
Ebert has since responded as well:
“Have no clue what statements “The set” (self evident truth— a name I came up with btw) but I haven’t made any statements about anyone except turnstile that arent completely true
Ive been blocked from the bands instagram for about a week and thought it was deleted until yesterday. And have texted with band members as recent as a day or two ago but they haven’t attempted to contact me”

Kid Rock Faces Backlash For Past Lyrics About Underage Girls
Kid Rock is facing backlash related to his 2001 song “Cool, Daddy Cool.“ The track, which appeared on the soundtrack for “Osmosis Jones,” resurfaced due to its gross references to underage girls.
The offending lyrics said the following:
“On my cell phone, I’m paid, G, can’t call me, just page me
Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see
Some say that’s statutory, but I say it’s mandatory”Despite the controversy, Rock is still scheduled to perform during Turning Point USA’s “All-American American Halftime Show” on February 8. The event, which also features Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett, was put together for right-wingers angry about Bad Bunny and Green Day’s upcoming Super Bowl performances in Santa Clara, CA.
However, Rock’s lyrics are seen as hypocritical considering Turning Point billed their show as an “American faith, family and freedom” event. Critics also pointed towards the singer’s support of United States president and convicted felon Donald Trump, who was accused of pedophila and more horrifying acts in the recently released Epstein files.
Rock has yet to address the controversy, but he did announce a new tour in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Here’s the dates:
With Brantley Gilbert and Them Dirty Roses:
05/01 Dallas, TX – Dos Equis Pavilion
05/08 Raleigh, NC – Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek
05/09 Charlotte, NC – Truliant AmphitheaterWith Parker McCollum:
05/15 St. Louis, MO – Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre
05/16 Tinley Park, IL – Credit Union 1 AmphitheatreWith Big & Rich and Them Dirty Roses:
05/30 Tampa, FL – MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre
With Jon Pardi:
06/05 Holmdel, NJ – PNC Bank Arts Center
06/06 Mansfield, MA – Xfinity Center
06/19 Noblesville, IN – Ruoff Music Center
06/20 Burgettstown, PA – The Pavilion at Star Lake
