Kid Rock's "Rock the Country" festival responds to artists dropping out
Multiple headline acts withdrew due to political concerns and other issues, leading to cancellation of Anderson festival stop despite prior 47,000 attendance last year, officials said.
- On the evening of Feb. 5, Anderson County officials said Kid Rock's Rock the Country canceled its July 25-26 Anderson, South Carolina stop after multiple artists withdrew.
- Shinedown and other headliners announced they were withdrawing, saying they did not want to participate in something that could create further division; Ludacris's representative called his involvement a 'mix-up'.
- Citing production and audience standards, the festival told Newsweek, `Rock The Country was created to unite people together through music,` reaffirming its mission after Anderson cancellation.
- Anderson County faces economic fallout, officials said, after the festival generated a multimillion-dollar impact and drew about 47,000 attendees last year.
- The tour still plans to begin in Bellville, Texas, on May 1, despite Anderson's cancellation, with Kid Rock recently appearing at Turning Point USA's halftime show.
