"Rock the Country has issued an official statement following the cancellation of its South Carolina stop last week. As previously reported, the Kid Rock-led traveling festival canned the two-day event that was set to take place July 25th and 26th in Anderson, South Carolina, after headliner Shinedown dropped from the bill. Before that, Ludacris and others dropped off the bill after receiving backlash for playing a "MAGA" festival."
"Rock the Country was created to unite people together through music. Our lineups and our crowds reflect that sentiment - a wide range of voices, backgrounds, and stories that make up this country. We're truly disappointed we won't be bringing the show to Anderson. Our fans work hard for their money, and we refuse to put on a show that doesn't meet the standard they deserve."
