Kid Rock's toxic unpopularity has caused *two* music festivals to be cancelled in this year alone: Patriots Day Freedom Fest in September 2026 Rock the Country South Carolina Stop in February 2026 It couldn't happen to a more obnoxious, washed-up no-talent.

Kid Rock cancels a concert because rich MAGA people wouldn't pay for tickets. The organizer says rich people "suck." The organizer said: “'I want to tell you something: Rich people, as a whole, suck,' he said. 'Out of all these people that have money that I interact with, who I do favors for all day long. They ask me for something…. I never said…

Out of curiosity I look up the lyrics to some of his songs. They’re nasty, nasty filth and I’m stunned that “good Christians” would even consider Kid Rock as someone who represents their values.

Lotta bad things in the world right now but we can all revel in Kid Rock’s humiliation of being no better than Megan Trainor

Kid Rock, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and James Comer walk into a Kentucky festival. Nobody follows. Six VIP tickets sold. Six. That is the entire MAGA cultural product in one number, a movement reduced to a Facebook rant nobody wanted a lanyard for. Even the rubes kept their wallets shut. MAGA Festival Featuring Kid Ro...

Free alcohol is more endearing to brokies who physically work their asses off every day than to rich people who make millions sitting on their asses.

He should change his name to Kid Cock and a bunch of Republicans would definitely go to his shows.

"Washed up no-talent?!" That's so unfair! He was no-talent long before he was washed up.
-
Nah he came from money to begin with. The whole redneck trailer park shit was a larp.

I feel, truly feel, that we are witnessing the beginning to the end of MAGA. Republicans running for office don't want Trump around them. Approval ratings for the horrid man are finally below 30% and even brain dead morons like Joe Rogan are waking up to his toxicity. I'm enjoying this for them.

rogan isn't waking up, he's playing the field. He's out to make money anyway he can.

I've never seen Pillowboy Lindell and Skid Mocks in the same place...hmmm..

I heard as popular as taste buds on hemorrhoids 🤢

A Pet Rock would be more talented and entertaining

The guy that put it together alleges he has lots of rich fellow online "influencer" douchebags that agreed to buy a VIP ticket which was meant to cover costs...her needed to sell 100 VIPs to break even...he sold 6...his quote after shutting down was, "Rich people suck." 🤣

Meanwhile Bruce Springsteen's Land of Hope and Dreams 'No Kings!' tour sold out. And he's putting the final show out on video free in 4 parts. The first is out now.

Wow! I can't believe no one wanted to pay to hear Kid Rock play. What makes this even funnier was that general admission tickets were free. VIP cost $1000.

And wouldn't steal as much from other artists. When your most popular song is samples stolen from Warren Zevon and Lynyrd Skynyrd, you're no artist.
-
How can you really be "washed up" if your dingy never got out of the harbor at all? Asking for a bunch of people who love actual good music.

Kind of ironic that everyone used their freedom to be totally uninterested in listening to him
-
Sad. What's for Dinner? Correction: What's for Dinner that I can afford?
-
His few hit songs were remakes of other bands songs.
-
It’s crazy to think that he actually has some multi platinum albums. Of course there’s a lot of late 90s/early 2000s music I find cringeworthy.
