Kid Rock Finds New Music Festival to Scare People Away From

Organizer Eric Deters said just six VIP tickets sold at $1,000 each, forcing him to cancel the Kid Rock event.

  • Former Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate Eric Deters canceled the Patriots Day Freedom Fest scheduled for Saturday due to low VIP ticket sales, with Kid Rock set to headline as a speaker.
  • Deters blamed wealthy supporters for failing to purchase 100 planned VIP packages priced at $1,000 each, claiming, "Rich people, as a whole, suck." The event's collapse stemmed from insufficient support.
  • Only six VIP tickets sold for the Saturday gathering, which listed Rep. James Comer , Fox News contributor Joe Concha, and Jackie Kallen as guests. Kid Rock was booked only to speak, not perform.
  • In a 15-minute Facebook Live video, Deters announced he would "never, ever, ever, ever, ever" host the festival again, rejecting the "failed event" label while maintaining MAGA supporters consistently turn out.
  • Kid Rock's involvement follows other recent professional setbacks, including cancellation of his own "Rock The Country" touring festival and being snubbed from Trump's Great American State Fair musical lineup.
