Support for Kid Rock’s music festival continues to slip — and this time even the anticipated attendees are upset.
The Rock the Country festival is set to tour seven small towns with a large lineup. However, Kid‘s heavy rightwing political leanings and the controversial lineup led the festival to be dubbed the ‘MAGA festival.’ In response, some of the more neutral and left-leaning bands on the lineup opted to drop out.
“In response to rising transportation costs, you can enjoy up to 50% off general admission passes to any of seven small town stops for a limited time only,” the post added. This dropped prices down to $59 single-day tickets and $99 weekend GA tickets.
Plus, they highlighted yet another lineup change. “[Staind] has just been added as the headliner for the Sunday, June 28th date of Rock the Country in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, replacing Jelly Roll who will no longer be performing due to a scheduling conflict. Jelly Roll will still perform in Bloomingdale, GA and Ashland, KY,” they wrote.
However, commenters were outraged by this change. After all, many of them already shelled out the big bucks to attend. “What about those of us that paid full price for our two day general admission??” said one person.
Another laid out just how much it’s costing them to attend the eventing, writing, “This is ridiculous. I bought 7 tickets and 2 parking passes on the day presale started because it was advertised that it is the lowest price you would be able to get tickets. If I bought the same 7 tickets and 2 parking passes today it would be $439.70 cheaper. I bought them early because you said that was the lowest price we would get and you lied.”
Other people are still hung up on the constant cancellations. At this point, many don’t even want to attend without the big name stars they were promised. “I hope the Sioux Falls show gets canceled, a refund would be nice since the Headliner canceled,” wrote one fan. “If they can back out, we should be able to as well.”
Another agreed, “No Jelly Roll anymore? Repetitive question, can we get a refund?!”
Attendees’ faith in the festival dropped as they questioned just how long it would actually last. “First they back out of Anderson SC. Have several bands cancel. Then are selling tickets cheaper now then the folks who already bought… not a good look. Might be the end of it,” wrote one person.
