Jason Aldean and Kid Rock are hitting the back roads.

On Monday, the country musicians announced they will join forces for the Rock the Country tour, where they'll be headlining seven "small town" festivals across the United States from April through July 2024.

Appearing at the top of the bill for all seven stops from are Aldean, 46, and Kid Rock, 52, who will be joined by the likes of Miranda Lambert , Hank Williams Jr., Lynyrd Skynyrd, and others at select dates.

“Rock the Country is for everyone who makes this country run and loves America. Nobody knows how to party like Small Town America,” Kid Rock said in a release.

Rock the Country

Rock the Country will be making stops in Kentucky, Alabama and South Carolina, with the seven-stop tour commencing in Louisiana on April 5 and 6. All seven stops will feature two days of performances. Other acts taking the stage at various shows include Travis Tritt, Lee Brice, Nelly , Warren Zeiders, Big and Rich ft. Gretchen Wilson, Randy Houser, Uncle Kracker, and more.

"This festival is our way of giving back to these communities and providing an experience like never before. We are passionate about curating an event that combines top-tier musical talent with the charm of small-town America, and we can't wait for fans to join us on this historic musical journey,” Nathan Baugh, president of 46 Entertainment, shared in a release.

“Rock the Country is more than just a festival; it's a celebration of music, community, and the shared love for country music that binds us all together," continued Baugh.

Presale tickets for the tour will be available Thursday, while public sale begins Friday.

The festival run comes on the heels of controversies from both Aldean and Kid Rock.

Originally released in May, Aldean's chart-topping track "Try That in a Small Town" drew criticism over the summer from listeners who accused the singer of encouraging violence and racism with the song's lyrics. Aldean also filmed its music video at the site of a 1927 lynching in his town of Columbia, Tennessee.

Speaking to CBS Mornings this past month, Aldean argued that "there was people of all color doing stuff in the video."

"There was white people in there. There was Black people. I mean, this video did not shine light on one specific group and say, 'That's the problem.' And anybody that saw that in the video, then you weren't looking hard enough in the video, is all I can tell you," he said.

The musician also addressed the video's filming location of the Maury County Courthouse, where 18-year-old Black man Henry Choate was lynched nearly 100 years before. As Aldean explained, he wasn't aware of the history of the building when he filmed the clip, and he would "probably not" film there again.

"But also, I don’t think, again, I’m not gonna go back 100 years and check on the history of this building," he said. "If you’re in the south, you could probably go to any small-town courthouse — you’re going to be hard-pressed to find one that hasn't had some sort of racial issue over the years at some point. I mean, that’s just a fact."

Despite the controversy, Aldean defended his intentions releasing the song, adding that he would "do it over again, every time ... minus the setting, knowing what I know now, obviously, you know, knowing that that was gonna be a thing."

"I know what the intentions were behind the location, the video, the song, all of it. And, you know, and I stand by all that," he said.

As for Kid Rock, the "All Summer Long" singer received backlash earlier this year after he went viral for shooting cases of Bud Light with a semi-automatic rifle. The clip came shortly after the beverage brand tapped influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a sponsored video, which prompted both transphobic and hateful rhetoric from conservative social media personalities.

They’ll be singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long.

Kid Rock and Jason Aldean just announced their seven-concert ‘Rock The Country Tour’ that will send them to small towns that “know how to party” from April through July 2024.

“Can’t wait to bring you Rock the Country,” Kid Rock shared on Instagram . “A music festival like no other for hard working folks who love this country!”

At each stop on the run, the co-headliners will put on two days worth of shows in each city along with many big name acts they’re bringing along for the ride on select dates.

Just a few of the icons set to join the duo include Lynyrd Skynyrd , Miranda Lambert , Hank Williams Jr. , Koe Wetzel and Brantley Gilbert .

That’s not all, though.

They’ll also perform with Uncle Kracker, Travis Tritt , Lee Brice , Randy Houser and Big and Rich featuring Gretchen Wilson.

Nelly will be there, too.

And if you want to join in on the Southern-fried fun, you can grab two-day passes for all concerts as of today.

For a closer look to see all the acts coming to your city, you can find a more detailed breakdown here .

Kid Rock controversy

Kid Rock aka Robert James Ritchie has made headlines over the years for his outspoken political and social views.

The 52-year-old rap-rocker turned country-rocker has displayed the Confederate flag at concerts, publicly disparaged Colin Kaepernick, used homophobic slurs and most recently shot Bud Light beer cans with a semiautomatic rifle in response to the company partnering with Dylan Mulvaney.

He has also publicly endorsed Donald Trump for President.

Jason Aldean controversy

In July of this year, Aldean released the music video for his polarizing single “Try That In A Small Town,” that may have had a pro-racism and pro-lynching message.

Over the course of three minutes, the 46-year-old country star displayed images of George Floyd protests projected onto Tennessee’s Maury County courthouse, which has a bit of historical significance.

Said courthouse is where a 1946 race riot and 1927 lynching took place.

The video was pulled down by CMT after four days on the air.

On This Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert Festival Tour

jason aldean tour with kid rock

In yet another sign that mainstream country is dramatically heading in a decidedly right-leaning direction in the aftermath of members of the media, academia, and the performer class attempting to cancel country artists and stifle speech, a massive multi-day traveling festival has just been announced that will undoubtedly have implications well beyond the music itself. On Monday (11-13), organizers of the inaugural “Rock The Country” touring festival announced their initial lineup, as well as the seven towns that the festival will travel to in 2024. Kid Rock and Jason Aldean will headline all dates, with a cavalcade of other country and Southern rock stars participating in the festival as well. Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., and Lynyrd Skynyrd round out a list of some 20 additional names that will appear at select shows. Rock The Country Fest is being produced by festival promoter Shane Quick of LiveCo who also promotes the annual Rock The South festival Cullman, Alabama. He’s joined by Nathan Baugh of 46 Entertainment on the promotion team. Even in an otherwise favorable article on the festival, Billboard concedes, “It’s booking of one of former president Donald Trump’s biggest boosters, and its timing months before the election injects an unavoidable dose amount of political energy into the tour that will be impossible to ignore.” In a nutshell, Rock The Country runs the very big risk of being a political rally with country music as the backdrop, and don’t be surprised if Donald Trump or other politicos appear at some of the dates personally. Kid Rock was just seen last weekend hanging out with Trump at a UFC event in New York. But it’s not just Kid Rock’s strong support of the former President that tips off what Rock The Country could be all about. Jason Aldean has been a big Trump supporter as well, and hung out at Mar-a-Lago with Trump over New Year’s. Travis Tritt is one of the most right-leaning and politically active members of the country music community, continuously posting political stuff on social media. John Rich of Big & Rich at this point is known much more as a right wing political commentator than a country music performer. Hank Williams Jr. is also a right-leaning country artist, previously commentating on Fox News . Bocephus released the very-politically charged anti-Obama album Old School New Rules in 2012. Randy Houser just released a new song called “ Cancel ” that unabashedly (and rather poorly) attempts to take on cancel culture, trying to piggy back off the recent enthusiasm behind Oliver Anthony. Other Rock The Country artists like Brantley Gilbert and Tyler Farr have let their right-leaning political affiliations be known in the past as well. Any objective assessment of how this lineup was curated will come to the conclusion that political affiliation was a critical part of the decision making process. “It’s for the people who love America,” is the official slogan of Rock The Country.

jason aldean tour with kid rock

Even if other performers on the lineup aren’t really looking to join the political fray, that very well might be the ultimate result for them. It’s already happening to Miranda Lambert, who is getting flack from both sides of the political divide just for participating. Though Lambert has never really signaled any significant political affiliation, she made quite a few fans on the left when she released her song “ Y’all Means All ” in 2022 in conjunction with the Queer Eye TV show. Lambert’s brother is gay, and was a part of the production. This affiliation has some on the right attacking Lambert for being included on the lineup. But then when Lambert appeared at Jason Aldean’s Bridgestone Arena concert in October of 2022, numerous political types, performers, and activist journalists on the left were directly calling for her cancellation , including some who purport to be for supporting women in country music. Speaking of attempted cancellations, this is something that rapper Nelly has been curiously immune from. While some in country music want to cancel Miranda Lambert simply for singing a duet with Jason Aldean, Nelly has been credibly accused of rape and sexual assault by three separate women. This seems to be decidedly opposite to the message of something like Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town.” Nonetheless, Nelly makes it onto the roster as one of the participants of the Rock The Country festival. Country and rock performers can have whatever political affiliations they choose, and it’s the 1st Amendment in action for them to congregate to perform. But this traveling festival will undoubtedly stir culture war acrimony at a time when it will already be at its peak due to the impending Presidential election in the United States. That acrimony runs the risk of then spilling out into the greater country music community. Expect when Rock The Country goes live next year, major national publications will report on it, focusing on Confederate flags and Trump T-shirts in the crowd, and talking about the cultural rot at the heart of country music while ignoring the counterbalance in independent country and Americana, and the unprecedented diversity the country genre currently boasts compared to its past. But as has been proven over and over again—whether it’s Morgan Wallen’s ‘N’ word incident, or Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town,” or Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond”—the more X/Twitter types try to impugn these things, the more attention they draw to them, and the stronger they become. Straight up politicians and political pundits all of a sudden have decided they’re country fans and have joined the effort to support songs and artists that others are attempting to cast as verboten. It’s also hard to not tie this development back by the headlong and ongoing effort by academia to activate country music as an agent for social change. Since the cancellation of the [Dixie] Chicks in 2003, country artists were strongly compelled to keep their politics to themselves by publicists and label heads, regardless of what their ideologies were. Jason Aldean personally refused to speak on politics when Rolling Stone attempted to coax it out of him just a few years ago. As Saving Country Music has been saying since 2016, the plan to use country music to switch the rural electorate from red to blue was not only guaranteed to be ineffective, it ran the risk of dramatically backfiring and being counter-productive. The idea that country artists would come out and advocate for left-leaning causes simply because think pieces in elitist publications behind paywalls were compelling them to do so was always hubris. If country performers did start to speak politically once again, it would be in the polar opposite direction as these intellectual pundits desired. That is now what we’re seeing unfold in many sectors of the country mainstream. This whole cycle of culture war back and forths in country music started when major media publications like The Washington Post , and performers like Maren Morris started an open war with Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany Aldean on social media for sharing her right-leaning beliefs. You knew at that time that Jason Aldean was not going to sit idly by as his wife was continuously attacked and impugned. Now Jason Aldean is leading the charge of country artists speaking out politically. Meanwhile, you have otherwise self-respecting traditional country fans who would never even consider going to a festival with Colt Ford, Nelly, and Brantley Gilbert on the lineup lining up for tickets to Rock The Country just to “stick it to cancel culture.” If this festival really wanted to make a difference in the country, instead of focusing on divisive politics and individuals, it could draw attention to the issue of food deserts throughout the Deep South, the lack of hospitals in America’s rural areas, the fentanyl epidemic, and other universal issues affecting “flyover country.” Unfortunately though, this is unlikely to happen as country music gets drawn even deeper into the culture war by both sides, making the music more polarizing, dividing the community, and divesting one of music’s greatest attributes: bringing people together.

I don’t really know their politics but I’ll admit Miranda Lambert’s and Randy Houser’s participation in this caught me off guard. Even if they are right leaning being associated with this is not a good look in my opinion.

' src=

Good thing, your opinion holds little value.

About as much as yours.

' src=

This is exactly the type of political division this article is warning about. People throwing insults at each other, rather than “agreeing to disagree”.

' src=

Your opinion means nothing

' src=

Sounds like an amazing concert, with a great line up.

' data-tf-not-load src=

only thing I see is a line up of artists and people who look like a hell of a lot more fun to party with than the Maren Morris, Dixie Chicks and Jason Isbells of the music world. Except for Nelly, I wouldn’t let my wife anywhere near that guy.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Yes, but does a 2-day, 7-date traveling festival tour exist with these names? No it doesn’t. There have been some fundraisers and such that have seen those kinds of pairings. But this traveling festival is a first of its kind in the modern era. I think this speaks to an escalation of the politicization of country music.

I wouldn’t be surprised of some sort of left-leaning counter programming to this materializes at some point. And then we can all choose what music we listen to, and what events we go to based off of who we all voted for for President. That’ll be the way to solve all of our problems, have one half of the country actively laboring to undermine the other half at all times, and vice versa, and in perpetuity.

you say it “speaks to an escalation of the politicization of country music”. I say it’s a reaction to the politicization of country music. what came first? the progressive activists who figured out that they could use pop culture to social engineer the masses and advance their leftist agenda, or the fed up right wing activists who for too long tried to take the high road and appear apolitical so as not to ruffle the feathers of fans who live on one side of the political divide or another? There are certainly politics involved here, but I’d also say this is what happens when the Isbells, Marrin Morrises & Rolling Stone magazines of the world try to co-op country music for their own political grand standing. The culture war is like any other war. Everyone will eventually have to choose a side whether they want to or not. I don’t like it anymore than anyone else.

I guess you are what you say you are. A dog fan. You are a sad, weak individual desperately seeking attention. You sound bitter. don’t like the event? get off the site and find something else to bitch(or sorry bark and sniff butts) about. I stopped listening to country music when they were so weak they had the audacity to welcome Beyoncé that almost broke country music, and Lady Antebellum went WOKE and changed their name among other things. I love this lineup of artists and encouraged that they are giving you the middle finger, without intimidation. Like Kid Rock said F*** You!!!

This 100% already happened, lots of concerts in the last election for president. Only big difference is it a touring festival https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/katy-perry-black-eyed-peas-rock-the-vote-livestream-1015056/

I think we all need to appreciate just how massive this event is going to be. This is a two-day festival, likely with two stages, that is then going to be held in seven different locations for a total of 14 days. I also expect that if these initial dates sell through well—and they likely will—they will add additional dates, perhaps up to around 12 to 15 dates total. This is why they start in the spring and go into the early/mid summer. If successful, I expect this to stretch into late summer/early fall.

This thing is going to be huge.

“The idea that country artists would come out and advocate for left-leaning causes simply because think pieces in elitist publications behind paywalls were compelling them to do so was always hubris.”

Wait what? Tyler Childers put out Long Violent History because Rolling Stone told him to? Left-leaning publications are pulling Sturgill Simpson’s strings? Ryan Bingham is a NYTimes puppet? There might be an instance or two of this but you can’t be saying this is the reason a multitude of (large umbrella) country artists are expressing liberal views.

No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I am saying is that in 2017 when “Rolling Stone” published a dedicated piece saying that the time for country artists to remain silent was over and they needed to speak out against Trump—and when other publications and journalists said similar things—they were planting the seeds that are now sprouting into things like this “Rock The Country” Fest. Previously mainstream country artists purposely avoided politics entirely because they didn’t want to be perceived as polarizing. Now, it’s an outright marketing angle.

Did the media have something to do with Tyler Childers releasing “Long Violent History”? It might. In the aftermath of the George Floyd killing, Tyler Childers was one of the artists listed on an “accountability spreadsheet” fielded with artists that did not post a black square or otherwise address the George Floyd killing. Members of the media were actively compelling political speech, and admonishing people for their behavior. Ironically, Tyler Childers still appears on that spreadsheet, despite arguably being the artist in country who addressed the situation the most as opposed to a performative act on social media. That tells you how poorly that effort was executed, and how extremely dangerous such efforts can be.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. No argument from me that the media is fanning the flames of division wherever and whenever possible. And yes, Tyler being on that spreadsheet is peak irony.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Would you suggest to Tyler Childers’ face that he only wrote “Long Violent History” as a marketing angle or to get the media off his back?

Yes, the Twitter mafia was ridiculous for their accountability spreadsheet, but any true artist (and I think Tyler falls into that category) is not going to let that dictate what and how they write about topics.

Tyler seems to come by his progressive leanings naturally and the way he expresses it by standing in solidarity with the people from Appalachia where he’s from on issues impacting the region like opioid abuse and environmental degredation stands in sharp contrast to the media elite’s understandings about America’s political divides. I also think his approach to these issues has a much better chance of reaching the people who need to hear that message most than all the Highwomen songs put together.

No, I wouldn’t get in Tyler’s face and say that because I don’t believe it. I think Tyler Childers made “Love Violent History” because it was something he wanted to express. But I also think it would be incredibly naive to believe that the media and public perception didn’t have some factor in his decisions. It definitely factored into Tyler’s decision to record the accompanying video he posted with “Long Violent History,” and he said as much in the video itself.

I feel like we’re getting off on a tangent here though, because again, I’m not saying that the media influenced Tyler Childers as much as their incessant attacks on right-leaning artists have resulted in right-leaning mainstream country artists becoming more verbose and outspoken than they were previously.

On your second point, I agree completely and its something that Oliver Anthony seemed to push back against as well during his moment in the spotlight this summer.

For me, while I may be more sympathetic (though not completely in agreement) with Jason Isbell’s politics – to me, he’s become the left’s version of a Kid Rock where the political stances overshadow anything else you might have to think about them as artists.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Trigger loves blaming the media for any political trends he doesn’t like.

It’s also hilarious to spend so much time talking about cancel culture when literally the only country artist that has ever actually been canceled was The Chicks.

He only likes blaming the liberal media, even for the conservative media fanning the flames of the culture war.

' data-tf-not-load src=

He may blame the liberal media, but on the other hand, he seems to agree with maybe 60 percent of what they write on the subject, so it’s kind of a wash.

Yeah, because he knows his audience.

You are part of my audience, Adam S.

If I was pandering to a right-leaning audience, I would have promoted this event, not written a think piece saying it’s setting a dangerous precedent of dramatically politicizing popular country music.

The Dixie Chicks are the band in question.

I looked back at 2003 articles. No band called The Chicks were under fire.

I am personally disappointed that Miranda is doing this.

But I guess I understand it. Miranda is a business woman.

The country music industry has “moved on” from Miranda. She hasn’t been on the radio in ages and even her albums aren’t getting as much attention anymore. She was pretty much slapped in the face (along with Carrie Underwood) by the CMAs last week.

Miranda needs some attention. What better way to get it than to involve herself in this divisive tour? After all, this kind of political controversy skyrocketed Aldean and “North Men” straight to the top.

Plus, well Miranda has always been one to do whatever the hell she wanted, regardless of what people (including her own fans) think.

I think one or a combination of these two things is happening here:

1) Miranda agreed to participate in this because they needed a top-line woman and Miranda wants to make sure women are represented, and when it was initially pitched to her, the presentation didn’t look as politically oriented as it does now.

2) The incessant and curiously vicious attacks on Miranda Lambert for co-writing with Morgan Wallen and appearing on stage with Jason Aldean—including from the “support women in country” crowd on X/Twitter—has pushed Miranda more to the right, which is commonly what happens in these instances. The idea that you’re going to shame someone like Miranda Lambert either out of existence or from collaborating with who she wants to is hubris. What you’re going to do is push her into the arms of people who will embrace her as opposed to judge her.

Number 1 seems like wishful thinking. As soon as Kid Rock and Jason Aldean were slated to headline, it was obvious what kind of thing this is. She had to have known.

' data-tf-not-load src=

of course she knew dumbass, she’s a southern redneck woman who sings country music. Of course she is not some left wing elitist. Let her do what she wants and sing with who she wants!! Ever think Aldean and Kid Rock are cool and nice people and she wanted to tour with them and they happen to agree on politics so what??

Why are you calling me a dumbass for disagreeing with trigger about her naivety? What a bizarre response. You should learn to be more civil.

Adam S doesn’t like it when people think outside of the predetermined boxes he made for them.

I have to agree with Adam about your first point. Miranda knew what she was getting into. It’s not like Aldean and Kid Rock haven’t been identified as ultra MAGA guys for years.

Having said that, I think your second point is very valid. Miranda has always struck me as the kind of person who does exactly what her critics demand she NOT do.

Having said that, I think it’s important to remember that Miranda has collaborated with Aldean multiple times throughout her career. She also has appeared with Kid Rock on more than one occasion. None of this is new.

Aside from the politics of this decision by her, I think it’s fair to be critical of the fact that although she has written and recorded some of the best mainstream country music of the last decade or so – and she is certainly one of the most important artists of her generation – she has OFTEN collaborated with and promoted….well, let’s just say crappy artists. For all of the GOOD she has done for the genre, she has also done a lot of damage. For every Stapleton and McBryde and Monroe she has lifted up, you have a Morris or a Wallen or an Aldean. I have always been a big fan of Miranda’s, but that has ALWAYS bothered me.

At this point in her career, she should be thinking about her legacy. This is just her associating with and promoting bad music -AGAIN. That makes me fat angrier than the politics.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Miranda has been a longtime friend and supporter of the Aldeans. Miranda was one of the few who was there after the shooting and supported Jason at his shows long before they did a song together. Mirand and hubby also vacation with the Aldeans here in Florida. Randy and Dee Jay Silver is also part of that group and golf with Brendan. She’s also friends with Kid Rock and they performed together in Texas and at her bar in Nashville. She’s not ashamed of her friends and knows they’re politics that is the same as hers. A proud conservative gun carrying woman.

A proud conservative woman with a song like Y’all Means All and a video like the techno remix of Tequila Does featuring her gay brother and who attends Gay Pride Parades and records and makes public appearances with Maren Morris.

It’s 2023 and there are plenty of conservatives who could care less about L/G/B issues (which is largely why party leaders moved onto stoking division around the ‘T’). It doesn’t surprise me at all when I meet MAGA folks who are indifferent or even supportive of gays — especially when it’s a family member who forced their hand rather than pure empathy, i.e. Dick Cheney, or possibly Miranda. (Although, I would add, not supportive enough to change their vote, given that the GOP platform still opposes Obergefell).

Add to that fact she’s married to a Long Island policeman… makes it hard to imagine she’s anything more than a right-leaning moderate.

Anyway, huge Miranda fan here. And a gay leftist. I could really care less about her billing in this, although this is obviously not a festival I would be drawn to nor comfortable in the crowd. I know a lot of people have trouble separating art and artists but it’s never been an issue for me, for whatever reason. Maren Morris is annoying as hell, so she’s a liberal (not a leftist) who I’d rather draw less attention to just about any cause. But if you’re interested in progressive politics gracefully woven into country music, check out Jaime Wyatt’s new album.

I prefer my music to be apolitical and speak to the relatable parts of life. I’m pretty conservative but I wouldn’t be caught dead at one of these shows. Mostly because of the type of morons it’s going to attract. I actually really like Kid Rock and think he’s an incredible musician, but the type of crowd that he will bring is a hard pass. Jason Aldean is a tool and makes absolute garbage music.

There are plenty of good “political” country songs (and those from other genres). They mostly just keep the politics implicit.

To pick an example that was recently lauded on the site: Cafe Down On the Corner. That’s a deeply political song that doesn’t explicitly mention politics.

Or, for classic examples: Coal Miner’s Daughter, Sixteen Tons, King of the Road, Mama Tried, etc.

Discussing the effects of policies is political speech, even if the political process is never mentioned.

(And this even ignores stuff like Song of the South and The Pill, which are classics but more blatant in their politics.)

The problem isn’t political art – to a certain extent all art is political.

The problem is bad art.

As a long time songwriter I can tell you this. Making overtly political songs that are good is incredibly difficult. Out of several hundred finished songs I have maybe two that would qualify and I rarely play them. I work in subtle things that are hidden deep beneath the surface but mainly just write about life, and the stories that could occur while living it. Probably the best example I can think of where an overt political song is good would be “Your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore” by John Prine. For me, a lot of the best writing is exploring shades of grey, asking questions instead of giving answers.

Great comment Ira. One of my favorite songs is The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Great songs suck you in with the story and if there’s a lesson to be learned the writer makes you think you taught it to yourself. Ira Hayes is another great example.

“in the aftermath of members of the media, academia, and the performer class attempting to cancel country artists and stifle speech, a massive multi-day traveling festival has just been announced that will undoubtedly have implications well beyond the music itself.”

See Libs???? It’s your fault we are making awful music.

Seriously, I don’t understand Trigger’s obsession with blaming the left. This shit is a two way street, and leading off with his usual diatribe about liberals is discrediting the role of conservatives in this whole stupid culture war.

I can’t take any of the partisan BS serious. Sure you are super super mad about what thE other side just did, you just never seem to notice when your side does it.

Yes, The [Dixie] Chicks were the first victims of cancel culture in country music, and really in popular culture overall. It’s a shame and an embarrassment on country music. But that was two decades ago. Also, the idea that they were the only victims of cancel culture is a canard. Try telling that to Unknown Hinson and Winston Marshall.

Obviously, what is being criticized is right-leaning characters like Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Travis Tritt, and John Rich who are now banding together to actively work to push country music more toward the right in a way that will polarize the music. But I also think that explaining how we got here is important.

“Unknown Hinson”

The man who called Dolly Parton a “slut”, a “bimbo”, and “forsaking your own race, culture, and heritage” for supporting a movement bringing light to police violence in black communities? Damn those libs for cancelling him for no reason. I don’t know how you can call that cancel culture.

“Winston Marshall”

I hardly think he was cancelled. Yes he received backlash for supporting Ngo, but he chose to leave Mumford and Sons, he wasn’t forced out, and his podcast is quite successful. I don’t see how that counts at being cancelled.

You can’t talk about “how we got here” by starting halfway. You don’t start with the Dixie chicks, or conservatives embracing jingoist songs during the war on terror, or the general culture war. You only choose to add the barest of context. “Cancel culture” in country didn’t start with liberals, and it’s now being pushed more by conservatives and conservative media.

BLM was about grafting money.

The founders are living the good life.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Good Lord is that a tin-eared false equivalency. Unknown Hinson and Winston Marshall? Did anyone have any idea they were “canceled”? Unknown Hinson has his stagename for a good reason. It’s not so much being politically incorrect, which they have or had a right to be, but that they really were sacrificed at the altar of “wokeness” or whatever the hell it is you want to call it. How many people on this site have heard of both or either? That these cult artists benefit from the bothsidesism of lowered expectations creates the illusion that they had as much to lose as the Chicks. Is anybody boycotting Hinson or Marshall? Has it hurt them financially? Please let me know if I’m wrong.

Unknown Hinson most definitely was and is cancelled. He lost his prominent role on Squidbillies and other voice over work, all of his endorsements are gone, you don’t see him playing shows any more, you don’t see him on festivals or making public appearances. It’s over. Was he a “cult” artist? Sure, I guess, though The Squidbillies were pretty mainstream.

Look, I’m not trying to draw a false equivalency. I have spoken many times about how unfortunate and embarrassing the cancellation of the [Dixie] Chicks was, and how I think it is something country music must continue to attempt to reconcile. But Unknown Hinson was cancelled. And hey, I criticized him for what he said about Dolly Parton too. It was completely out-of-bounds. Jimmy Allen was pretty certifiably cancelled recently as well, and likely for good reason.

I’m honestly not boned up enough on Winston Marhsall’s doings to speak more in-depth there, but he was fired from a pretty massive band.

I also find it a little strange that some are coming here to look for little threads and responses to comments where they can say this article is an attack on the left, when really is a lamentation about how mainstream country music is being politicized on the right. It’s my job to also forward what in my opinion is the cause of this political polarization. I respect people with differing opinions, but I think I present a rather plausible case that I’ve been referencing regularly since 2017 that is now coming to fruition.

Winston Marshall was not fired from Mumford and sons. You clearly aren’t boned up on the subject, and shouldn’t just spew out ignorant statements that contradict his statements and those of the rest of the band.

I don’t think you know what cancel culture is. You don’t have freedom from consequences for spewing vile sexist and racist shit. That’s not being cancelled.

I say this as a person who is fundamentally politically conservative: by adopting what is essentially a reactive political approach (i.e., taking positions not just that will aggravate their opponents, but taking positions because they aggravate their opponents), the modern conservative movement has inculcated in itself a lack of agency with respect to its own beliefs and agenda. This has created what is a frankly somewhat pathetic culture of passivity and victimhood on the right.

And, relatedly, it creates the ground for narratives like this, where those on the right are cast in the role of the acted-upon rather than the actor.

(I’m not saying the modern left doesn’t have its own problems; they just aren’t what is being discussed here.)

You’re correct in everything you say but it’s not really new, I don’t think. There’s a reason extreme conservatism is called “reactionary”.

There is a very specific pathology to this situation that has played out on a definable timeline, that among other things, as been incredibly, incredibly predictable. I don’t want to come across as pedantic when trying to explain this. I understand that some aren’t as intimate with the information as all of this stuff has unfolded, and perhaps it’s necessary to at some point to lay it all out in a detailed manner. But prior to the pandemic, country music was in an era after the cancellation of the [Dixie] Chicks that country artists were compelled both actively and passively to not speak out about political subjects regardless of the affiliation.

2017 is when all of this started when you had academics and journalists publishing literal manifestos explaining how country music needed to be targeted for political reformation by the left. I warned then of the very result we’re seeing play out now, which is country music going from apolotical, to aggressively right.

The big key to this festival is the participation of Miranda Lambert. That legitimizes this whole thing, and symbolizes that it’s not just some outlier characters like John Rich and Travis Tritt, or one lone superstar in Jason Aldean. This movement to the right is broad based. And when it comes to Miranda, you can specifically tie her back to the outrage and calls for her cancellation that I covered last year, simply for taking the stage and singing a song with Jason Aldean (article linked above).

In this case, I do think that these country artists are the “acted upon.” They were on the sidelines of politics. Then they received demands from the media and certain other artists (Maren Morris, Jason Isbell) that they must speak up about certain subjects, or they must shut up if their words were not in the proper alignment. Now the flood gates have opened, and it’s my fear country music is going to become a political apparatus for the near future.

It did not start in 2017. If you do ever write an article discussing politics in country in this era, you definitely should start with the Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith. But even if that’s too dated, starting in 2017 would be a mistake. 2016 saw huge polarization and politicization in country music through endorsements etc, that many of those articles and papers were responding to.

Country artists weren’t “acted upon”, they chose to embrace political division, on both sides.

Conservatives, by definition, just want to be left alone. Liberals can not stand this, they have to mess with everything. Thats why liberals like to make political music and complain about everything, and conservatives used to just like singing about the good ol days. It’s also why conservatives are losing the culture war, we are generally 3 steps behind in tactics. Sounds like many of us are feeling backed into a corner, and that’s not going to be pretty. I asked a teenage girl who her favorite country singer was the other day. She said Jason Aldean. I think it was a political statement, I just couldn’t imagine someone liking that crap. So I played some Waylon and Cash instead.

It’s because he spends too much time on X/Twitter, which has distorted his view of what the “mainstream view” is on matters.

I love this site, but it’s clear as day that Trigger needs to log off Twitter, cause it sure as hell seems to have convinced him everyone is out there trying to cancel everyone else.

Yeah, if you think I’m spending too much time on X/Twitter, you’ve missed VOLUMES of coverage where I talk about how terrible that place is. If I spend too much time anywhere, it’s with my nose in published think pieces in major publications that all come from the same basic hive mind. X/Twitter plays a role in that as the window many journalists use to the outside world. But I spend very little time on that app, and it has become agressively less useful as 2023 has transpired.

This is absolutely most definitely what is happening here. 100%. It is hard to express just how INSANE the media’s obsession was with shutting down Jason Aldean’s wife’s Instagram account and the opinions she was sharing there was, and this was counterproductive to the project launched via academia to turn the American rural electorate from red to blue via the country music medium. The Washington Post alone published THREE dedicated articles on Jason Aldean’s wife’s Instagram account alone. Meanwhile you had Jason Aldean ON RECORD saying he didn’t get into politics.

They have awoken a beast here. And that beast is only going to get bigger over time until there is something to change to momentum.

Jason Aldean who hangs out with Trump, dresses as Trump for Halloween, dresses his kids in anti Biden clothes while his wife walks around in a Daddy Trump shirt doesn’t get into politics?

I was referencing the hate spewed by others on here – not you.

“If this festival really wanted to make a difference in the country, instead of focusing on divisive politics and individuals, it could draw attention to the issue of food deserts throughout the Deep South, the lack of hospitals in America’s rural areas, the fentanyl epidemic, and other universal issues affecting “flyover country.””

Amen! I worry about this festival stopping in Ashland, KY. That’s an area of the country where concerts and festivals of late have been used to raise money for better drinking water, better education, and battling the opioid crisis. It’s a vulnerable region that has been making positive changes own its own that doesn’t need to be exploited for political purposes.

The ONLY reason these two men are getting this opportunity is to capitalize on their popularity in MAGA-land.

This is all nothing more than a money grab – preying ln the current political climate in both the country and in country music. As for Miranda’s decision to participate….well, like I said, guess she is just looking for some recognition right now. Even BAD publicity is at least SOME publicity.

I generally don’t like to use the term “washed up” to describe artists because often this speaks to the inherent ageism of the music industry that affects good artists and bad artists alike. But this definitely looks like a lineup for 14 years ago, making it not old enough to feel retro and cool, but definitely not relevant enough for today.

exactly. time machine shit, no doubt (hey, maybe they’ll play too!) this is about money. period. but it will morph into politics. it has to. they want it to! you’re right, trig. it’s gonna be HUGE. and, unfortunately, riotous. i can’t help but feel that the mixture of politics, alcohol and drugs, and (gulp) guns and ammo will lead to several deaths at some point. it’s inevitable. “If this festival really wanted to make a difference in the country, instead of focusing on divisive politics and individuals, it could draw attention to the issue of food deserts throughout the Deep South, the lack of hospitals in America’s rural areas, the fentanyl epidemic, and other universal issues affecting “flyover country.”” amen again!! that’s how it used to be, and not too long ago either. remember “rock the vote”? those acts were just trying to get people to register, and vote. they didn’t care how you voted, just vote!! thank you, pearl jam (and neil young). and they’re not washed up. just ask their rabid fan base. rockin’ in the free world, indeed…

there’s one more act this clusterfuck needs to really seal the deal… ted nugent!! he ain’t country, you say? well, neither is kid rock. or skynyrd. or nelly (really? i guess R kelly’s “tied up”…). uncle kracker? colt ford? please make it stop…

' data-tf-not-load src=

I have to agree with you. It’s a last gasp cash grab for many of the artists on the roster but also a new group of potential fans for somebody like Miranda. Her Vegas shows are starting up soon again and she needs to sell tickets. . Maybe this is a smart business move for her.

' data-tf-not-load src=

This festival just makes me appreciate my Jinks/TT tickets even more

' data-tf-not-load src=

Amen dude!!! Can’t wait for this show.

' data-tf-not-load src=

It’s funny how mainstream country performers skew right, while their fans lean left. And independent country acts skew left, while their fans lean right.

Regardless, putting Kid Rock as a co-headliner of anything is giveaway that the music is not the focus here.

I believe the majority of country music fans lean right, regardless.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Politics aside, I’d be interested in Hank Jr./Travis Tritt tour. Lynyrd Skynyrd can be in on it too if they find a way to bring to bring Ronnie Van Zant back from the dead.

I don’t give a fuck about any of the rest of these people.

' data-tf-not-load src=

So tired of the political divide. More power to you all, go out and sing your hearts out. This country is messed up! Let’s hope we can fix it.

' data-tf-not-load src=

I am not sure the artists would see it as a right wing political festival. I do not agree that it means country music is moving decidedly to the right. Respectfully, I disagree with your analysis on this one Trigger (I agree with your more often than not!). It looks like a rocking good festival to me whether I agree with their politics are not. I like the music of many whose politics I do not support and whilst liking some songs, do not always support the message within. I can see these shows selling well, regardless of politics. Looks like it will be entertaining.

Sounds like a great lineup of kick-ass artists.Just wish they could have added Toby Keith and or Trace Adkins. I guess you’re disappointed Zach – douche-bryan isn’t on the bill

' data-tf-not-load src=

Politics aside, this a shit lineup.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Two days in Gonzales, Poplar Bluff, and Ashland have to include a political rally. Otherwise, makes no sense to do two days. I don’t know anything about Pecos or Kolby Cooper personally but I hope it’s just for the paycheck as I like a couple songs.

' data-tf-not-load src=

I think it’s great. God forbid us deplorable conservatives.

By the way, just read on WR website a statement about Mark Chestnutt just made. Do not know what the health probem still is though:

““To my family, friends, fans and the country music community…

Many of you who know me well, know that I have been struggling with a battle that I’ve fought to overcome for many years on my own. Now after some extreme health issues I’ve recently experienced the time has come. The fight is over. I’ve made the decision, to take the time to get healthy.

I’ll be coming off the road for the next couple of months to concentrate on getting well…..to take care of me, my family and so that I can get back out on the road, to give back to ALL of you who have shown me unconditional support, care and love throughout my entire career. I truly appreciate your heartfelt understanding in my commitment, and your sensitivity to my decision, and the privacy to allow me this time.”

Trigger, if you could find out some details, it would be appreciated.

There’s even a question as to whether or not it can be called “conservatism”: anymore, but that’s another story.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Think I’m going to skip the comment section above me here. Already know where this is headed. Overall. this isn’t a very appealing lineup other than Hank Jr. and Skynyrd, and they are pretty much passed their primes. Miranda might be a good show, and I might be interested in Kolby Cooper.

As much as everyone has very vocal opinions on him, Kid Rock is the best show on this lineup. I’ve seen him a few times over the years and he always delivers a great show. But I don’t think I’m going to stand around all day wading through the rest of this until Hank, Skynyrd, and Kid come on.

As for the politics, or anyone who wants to tell me one of these artists suck, I don’t care.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Plan on spending 2500 or so to take your girlfriend or wife to the Ashland Kentucky show to get a camping spot, meet and greet, and 2 day pass. As usual, greedy assholes taking advantage of the poor hardworking folk. I thought kid rock use to pride himself on not overcharging his fans for tickets.

' data-tf-not-load src=

I just hope Treaty Oak Revival makes some serious money from this. That is a good band.

' data-tf-not-load src=

If country performers did start to speak politically once again, it would be in the polar opposite direction as these intellectual pundits desired. That is now what we’re seeing unfold in many sectors of the country mainstream.

Yup. I thought about that as I saw Jason Isbell talking about ”Try That In A Small Town” on MSNBC, even as I simultaneously thought he made good points about it.

Jason Isbell: “And if your words add up to nothing, then you’re making a choice to sing a cover when we need a battle cry…”

Jason Aldean: *records & releases ”Try That In A Small Town”*

Isbell: ”WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT!”

Really, all of this is so unfortunate. I understand there’s been a political element to music for as long as music has been a thing, but even so, these days I much prefer it as a respite from the culture wars — not least of all because as a libertarian-leaning conservative, it bugs the ever-loving shit out of me to see conservative traditional country music fans who wouldn’t otherwise give Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, Tyler Farr, or Colt Ford the time of day fork over their money for this festival because of the Aldean song and the accompanying uproar.

(Say, Trigger, not sure if you saw it, but Randall King recently announced he’ll be dropping a new album early next year; it’s currently scheduled for a release date of Jan. 26th.)

' data-tf-not-load src=

It seems to be a good show. I agree with someone above that toby Keith would have been nice but maybe his health would come into play. None of the shows are real close for me but I probably wouldn’t go regardless. Would depend on what else is going on to make it a great whole day event.

The lowest tier of music opinion is from people who pick what artists to listen to based on what political opinions they espouse – basically everyone at Fox News.

Also it’s crazy to think how self defense, free speech, and saying children shouldn’t be pursuaded to have those surgeries and hormone therapies because they are minors…I do not understand why those opinions are overtly political. Thankfully the Right isn’t pro-war like they were in 2004. But I disagree with any artist choosing to avoid supporting the things I mentioned simply because the Overton Window shifted so much.

“self defense, free speech, and saying children shouldn’t be pursuaded to have those surgeries and hormone therapies because they are minors”

As a liberal, I agree with all of these notions and values. Too bad neither party represents those views.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Sorry. Hollywood and the pop music industry have been promoting left-liberal politics since, well, Hollywood’s beginning. The next person who claims that it is somehow a problem, contributing to this country’s polarization or needs to focus on “food deserts” will be the first. Did Billboard care about MTV and the music industry doing “Rock The Vote” to elect Bill Clinton back in the day? Or how all of Hollywood promoted Barack Obama? Jordan Peele made “Get Out” because he was outraged over some Democrats having the unmitigated gall to support other candidates during the 2008 primary. Boots Riley, one of the top independent directors today, is a literal communist who advocated a violent overthrow of U.S. government in his rap records. (The name of his rap group was “The Coup.” No, I am not making it up.) The album cover on one of his records depicted his band blowing up the World Trade Center. The album came out shortly before September 11th. It was a coincidence of course but when he was interviewed about it, he was 100% unrepentant. He is older now, of course, but he hasn’t moderated his views at all. Everyone in Hollywood knows his views but they don’t care. He’d be directing big budget blockbusters for all the studios by now if he wasn’t against the very idea of big business, capitalism and getting rich in the first place. And he is FAR from the only person with those types of extreme views. Hollywood and the music industry are full of them. Instead, it is getting increasingly difficult to have a mainstream Hollywood career if you don’t. You had people trying to run Chris Pratt out of Hollywood for years because he attends an evangelical church. Imagine were Pratt a bit less famous: a lot of studios and casting agents would have decided that he wasn’t worth the trouble. They also tried to do the same to Sydney Sweeney because – gasp! – members of her family are police officers. The days when you could be a visible Republican in Hollywood like Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzennegar, Patricia Heaton, James Woods, Tom Selleck, Bob Hope, Shirley Temple etc. are long over and those were actually MODERATE Republicans.

So yeah, Billboard is criticizing this tour but I bet that they have a 180 degree opposite attitude on this voter registration drive that Taylor Swift is now running. I am sorry but this idea that people on the left can do whatever they want but everyone else has to just tiptoe around and be inoffensive is just wrong and needs to be pushed back against as often as possible. So even though I personally can’t stand Kid Rock or Hank Williams Jr. I don’t mind this tour one bit and I hope that they and some others make it a regular thing. And I want them to explicitly state “if every single mainstream celebrity can endorse, promote, contribute to and raise money for Democrats how’s that different from what we are doing?” if anyone gives them grief about it.

I’m most curious to see how Lee Brice, Warren Zeiders and Koe Wetzel fare from here on out.

With Warren Zeiders, he is currently pushing his breakout commercial single “Pretty Little Poison” up the radio chart and released his debut album in August. So he is practically brand-new to the vast majority of listeners and, thus, he is still in the early stages of developing his career. Choosing to play this festival is definitely a risky proposition for someone of his sort.

Meanwhile, Lee Brice is someone who is no stranger to the singles charts, but also is in a unique position: where he has never been an A-lister in terms of popularity and commercial success, but has still racked up plentiful #1 hits as recently as two years ago. His career has continued to chug along, but I wouldn’t consider him among the names who are too big to fail either. So it is curious to me to see Brice on board with this, and it’ll be interesting to see where he goes from there.

And finally with Koe Wetzel: unlike the aforementioned two, this is a guy that obviously doesn’t shy from controversy……………..but his fanbase is notably broad and diverse compared to most country or country-adjacent acts. So I’d say it’s definitely quite risky for him latching his wagon to this festival out of the very real risk of splintering his fanbase.

With most the other established names listed aside from Miranda Lambert, it makes a lot of sense why they’re full speed ahead from a business perspective. Especially names who haven’t had a hit for years now like Tyler Farr and Uncle Kracker, where this is a prime opportunity for them to get back into the limelight somewhat.

' data-tf-not-load src=

How about enjoying the music? If you dont enjoy the music, don’t attend.

No problem.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Most music is inherently political and country music is certainly no exemption. Country music figures have been advocates for their politics through their music for all of the 29th century. And country as a wealth of lefties and conservatives from Johnny Cash to Merle Haggard to Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson. The Allman Brothers along with Charlie Daniels, Lynyrd Skynyrd and a host of others worked very hard to get Jimmy Carter elected in 1976. And MTV and Rock the Vote and more recently Taylor Swift are out there promoting their candidates. This concert is no cause of alarm Trigger nor is it anything out of the ordinary for either side. They’ll play their music they’ll bring their political friend on stage and then the voters will decide. ‘Merica.

' data-tf-not-load src=

I’m more offended that Miranda Lambert took second billing to Kid Rock.

haha it’s because she’s only scheduled for two, they will alternate the 3rd headliner between her hank and skynryd.

Sounds like an amazing concert and an awesome lineup. Hope it comes to Canada.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Well… here’s another way the PR story for country music that will continue the narrative I’ve been fighting against as a country fan for the past 10 plus years.

I know you don’t usually do straight political posts as, such but… I would love a deep dive into the origins of the the Billboard Country Charts, which as I understand it was formed in response to or alongside the Black Singles Chart. Country music was originally seen as/called folk music… I may have my things mixed up though, read so many books.

Point being labels wanted to create a divide on the charts to sell more records and keep things segregated. It was less about racism though and as always more about money.

It was touched on in the book “A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres” but not too much of a deep dive.

This topic really deserves its own article. But there is definitely and effort underway in academia similar to the 1619 project to portray country music as being founded solely on racist principles. The point of casting it as such is then you have the mandate to demolish country music as a cultural institution, and reconstitute it in the image that these intellectuals want it to be as opposed to what the fans and artists want it to be. What they won’t tell you is that at one point, country and folk songs were paired with songs from Black performers as a sort of “also-ran” on the Billboard charts when this music was seen as something apart from popular music. Yes, later the charts were separated based on race, though as you said, this was just as much about marketing as it was segregation. I don’t want to say that racism didn’t play a role in early country music because of course it did. But it was not the foundation of the genre. The first performer Ralph Peer ever recorded was a Black woman in Chicago. The Lomax family never receives its due credit, and they recorded artists irrespective of race.

What they also fail to explain is than all the way up to the ’90s, Billboard had a “Hot Black Singles” chart. The point of this was not to segregate Black performers, but to emphasize them.

' data-tf-not-load src=

It definitely deserves its own article and I look forward to reading and promoting it.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Just dont go if you dint like them. What you are doing isn’t gonna sway anyone from going if they want to go. Really just a bunch of wasted air that you may one day wish you had back!

' data-tf-not-load src=

Say it ain’t so, Miranda. Gross.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Do Kid Rock and Jason Aldean have a combined 100 IQ ? ( Miranda,it’ll be up to you to save to bill musically,aesthically and intellectually !!!!!)

' data-tf-not-load src=

It’s so funny how people talk about Kid Rock being a “has been” or whatever but then place Bocephus on a pedestal, lol. First of all, I love both of them and they would laugh at these comments together while they are out hunting and drinking beer together, because they are great friends. Having said that, I think Hank should be the co-headliner instead of Aldean, but whatever.

Miranda is in the mix because she is one of the few women left in “country” music with a don’t give a shit, outlaw mentality. Unlike the Dick Chicks, who I lost all respect for because they caved to political correctness by dropping the Dixie from the name, just like Dolly dropped the Dixie from Dixie Stampede. It’s really sad when people show how weak-minded they are and cave to other people’s politics. I do not support this tour for any political reason whatsoever. I support it because it’s a group of like-minded individuals who don’t give a damn what people think and stand by their beliefs. Whether you think they are washed up or has-beens or rednecks or whatever, the one thing they are is prideful and strong in their beliefs and that shows integrity. Being able to look at yourself in the mirror and be proud of the person you are is a lot more valuable than what the world thinks. I’m going now to listen to Kid Rock’s “FUCK OFF”! Have a blessed day! Peace!

i love how the conservative political platform these days is just to do the opposite of whatever the left does, including championing and doubling down on the shittiest music you have ever heard. meanwhile, kid rock is still drinking bud lite in a small town.

' data-tf-not-load src=

God totin’, gun fearin’ patriots! God bless America!

' data-tf-not-load src=

Art W.,at 70 and a cover boy handsome black Canadian man with a 160+ IQ who’s NEVER given a crap about folks thinking I shouldn’t be a Country fan because of my colour and far-left politics,don’t you think I epitomize the word “outlaw?”

Politics aside, the music on this tour is primarily terrible. Aside from Miranda Lambert and some of Bocephus’ tunes (both of whom I might watch if it was a different event and free) it all looks like hot garbage. I don’t even like big festivals when I like 90% of the acts. But hawking cheap, made in China American flag trinkets and merch and selling it to rubes is probably one of the most classic American moves out there, so I give them that!

' data-tf-not-load src=

BORING. Kid crock & the rednecks-afraid-of-the-world tour ’24. All these whiners about the politicization of country music. It’s artist like this that make it that way instead of staying true to the vibe. Oh well I guess that’s what you get.

' data-tf-not-load src=

Y’all are using too many big words for my likin’.

The list of artists I would refuse to listen to for political reasons is pretty short. Charlie Manson, John Hinkley Jr, Kenny Chesney. And none of them actually killed anyone, though the last one kills my ears with whininess.

(I will actually listen to a few Jon Pardi songs, even though his voice sounds like my table saw with a sliver of waste wood rubbing against the blade.)

For sure the line-up will tend to draw from one side of the political spectrum, but also shrewdly the venues are out in the sticks a good bit, where there will be plenty of access and parking for mud-boggers and side-by-sides. I think you still get a MAGA hat when you purchase one of those vehicles (I just got a dealer hat when I bought my 4-wheeler).

I don’t think the festival that appeals to ‘both sides’ exists yet, so I guess we’ll just have to party on.

Kid Rock, Jason Aldean Removed NY From Tour Over Trump Civil Fraud Ruling?

In the verdict released february 2024, a new york judge ordered trump to pay $355 million in penalties., nur ibrahim, published feb. 20, 2024.

Originated as Satire

About this rating

In February 2024, a rumor went viral alleging Kid Rock and Jason Aldean removed New York stops on a concert tour in protest of a judge's decision in a civil fraud case to make former U.S. President Donald Trump pay $355 million in penalties.

For instance, on Feb. 18, 2024, a Facebook post by America's Last Line of Defense went viral with side-by-side photos of Aldean and Kid Rock and the text, "Kid Rock and Jason Aldean Remove New York From the 'You Can't Cancel America' Tour: 'We Support 45'," referring to Trump's ranking as America's 45th president.

The claim spread on other social media platforms , as well, including X (formerly Twitter), where some  users  appeared to show support for the singers. Days earlier, a New York judge ordered Trump to pay the penalties in a sweeping civil fraud verdict, finding he had lied for years about his wealth on financial statements for loans and to make real-estate deals, The Associated Press reported .

Conservative pundit Brigitte Gabriel wrote , for example: "Kid Rock and Jason Aldean have responded to New York's extreme attack on President Trump by REMOVING the state from their 'You Can't Cancel America Tour.' This is a BIG DEAL and a sign of the silent majority rising again!"

jason aldean tour with kid rock

However, the claim about Aldean and Kid Rock was fictional. While they have indeed headlined concerts together before, there appeared to be no evidence of a "You Can't Cancel America Tour," like the posts claimed. Since the tour was made up, so was the notion they had removed New York dates due to their feelings on Trump.

The rumor stemmed from an article  by The Dunning-Kruger Times, a site that is part of a network of websites and social media accounts operated by America's Last Line of Defense's (ALLOD). The article stated :

'We support 45 [referring to Trump],' the tour's website announced, 'Therefore, we won't be bringing the tour to the state that has treated him so poorly.' The tour was set to play more than a dozen dates in New York, adding untold millions to local economies and giving patriotic Americans living in a liberal nightmare the chance to have a night to themselves. 

The Dunning-Kruger Times describes its output as satirical. The website's " About Us " section states:

Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined. Any similarities between this site's pure fantasy and actual people, places, and events are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and satirical. See above if you're still having an issue with that satire thing.

The website's creators call  people who believe its stories "taters." The website states:

'Taters' are the conservative fans of America's Last Line of Defense. They are fragile, frightened, mostly older caucasian Americans. They believe nearly anything. While we go out of our way to educate them that not everything they agree with is true, they are still old, typically ignorant, and again — very afraid of everything.

Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of Trump. Also, Trump once  defended  Aldean amid accusations of racist imagery in his "Try That In A Small Town" music video.

We've fact-checked numerous satirical claims stemming from Dunning-Kruger Times, including one about Aldean supposedly saying Garth Brooks was not welcome at Toby Keith's candlelight vigil and another about Mark Wahlberg supposedly joining Kid Rock and Aldean on tour.

Kid Rock and Jason Aldean to headline music festival in Missouri. Here’s what to know

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

A country music festival featuring Kid Rock , Jason Aldean and Hank Williams Jr. is touring the United States in 2024.

And they are making a stop in Missouri in June.

Rock the Country, a two-day country music festival, comes to Brick’s Offroad Park in Poplar Bluff June 28-29. Tickets go on sale Thursday, and fans can sign up for pre-sale access on the festival’s website.

Poplar Bluff, population 16,225, is about 360 miles southeast of Kansas City, near the Missouri Bootheel.

Two-day general admission tickets to the festival start at $129. Elevated seating tickets give access to reserved seats with a backrest and start at $199.

The festival says all sales are non-refundable unless the event is canceled.

Rock the Country

The Rock the Country website says the festival uses radio frequency identification wristbands as the tickets. The wristbands will be shipped to festival goers beginning six weeks before the event.

Twelve artists perform during the festival, including Koe Wetzel, Travis Tritt, Uncle Kracker, Cold Ford, Elvie Shane, Pecos & the Rooftops, Gavin Adcock, Sadie Bass and Dee Jay Silver.

Other cities the festival stops at include:

Gonzales, Louisiana: April 5-6

Kid Rock and Jason Aldean did not cancel New York performances after ruling against Trump

CLAIM: Performers Kid Rock and Jason Aldean removed all New York shows from their “You Can’t Cancel America” tour in support of former President Donald Trump.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The claim originated on a satirical news website that describes its content as “fiction.” There is no such tour — the pair’s “Rock the Country” tour, which begins in April, never included any stops in New York. Aldean’s concurrent “Highway Desperado Tour” started in July 2023 and has already included multiple shows in the state with more scheduled this year.

THE FACTS: Following an order in New York requiring former President Donald Trump to pay $355 million in penalties for lying about his wealth, social media users erroneously claimed that Kid Rock and Aldean, both public Trump supporters, had scrapped their Empire State tour dates in solidarity.

Many are sharing posts that include a screenshot of a headline that reads: “Kid Rock and Jason Aldean Remove New York from the ‘You Can’t Cancel America’ Tour: ‘We Support 45.’”

“BREAKING HILARITY: #MAGAMorons Kid Rock and Jason Aldean just announced they will cancel New York from their ‘You can’t cancel America’ tour,” reads one post on X. “Pure. Comedy. Gold.” It had received about 13,000 likes and 5,900 shares as of Wednesday.

But the headline comes from an article on Dunning-Kruger-Times.com, a website that labels itself as satire and whose content is often mistaken as real. Its domain refers to the Dunning-Kruger effect , a cognitive bias concept in which people with little knowledge in a given area overestimate what they know.

“Dunning-Kruger-Times.com is a subsidiary of the ‘America’s Last Line of Defense’ network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery,” the site’s About Us page reads. “Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real.”

Moreover, there is no “You Can’t Cancel America” tour. Kid Rock and Aldean are headlining a “Rock the Country” tour starting in April with seven stops in Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missouri and South Carolina. No shows have been added to the tour since it was announced in November.

Aldean’s “Highway Desperado Tour” has had two shows in New York since it began in July 2023. Four additional New York shows are planned for the summer of 2024.

Among other clues that the story was bogus is the fact that it quotes “Joe Barron,” who it claims is president of the “Kid Rock Fan Club.” Dunning-Kruger-Times.com frequently uses this name in its satirical posts.

The Associated Press has previously debunked stories that originated from the same network of satirical sites, but were spread as real.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump on Friday to pay $335 million in penalties for scheming to dupe banks, insurers and others by inflating his wealth on financial statements. In addition to the former president, the civil fraud verdict punishes his company and executives, including his two eldest sons. ___ This is part of the AP’s effort to address widely shared false and misleading information that is circulating online.

For thousands of country, Americana and bluegrass music fans, warmer weather brings with it a staple of the live music experience: music festivals. Throughout the year, music fans gather at festivals across the nation and around the world, celebrating with friends (and often making new friends), enjoying cold beverages, culinary experiences and of course soaking in music from artists offering a range of styles, from pop-country, Americana, bluegrass, rock-fueled country, ’90s-inspired country and more.

Below,  Billboard  looks at many of the top country music festivals and Americana festivals slated for 2024, both in the U.S. and beyond. This year, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, Jelly Roll, Eric Church and Turnpike Troubadours serve as headliners on multiple festivals, with artists including HARDY and Bailey Zimmerman also showing up on various lineups. Far from only highlighting established artists, the lineups for these festivals also give festival-goers an early look at some swiftly-rising new artists including Zach Top and Megan Moroney.

Most of these festivals also celebrate much more beyond the music, offering immersive experiences including camping, merch vendors, food trucks and much more. For instance, at California-based country music festival Stagecoach, attendees not only have a chance to enjoy BBQ favorites via Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse, but also get the chance to learn about the mission of the Compton Cowboys , a group of Black cowboys who use equestrian culture and horseback riding to positively impact their community, while also honoring the lineage of African-Americans in Western and equine heritage.
