[DemocratSinceBirth]

Kid Rock's MAGA music festival has seen two more performers drop out following backlash over their involvement in the production.

The 55-year-old musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, announced the lineup of his festival, Rock the Country, in mid-January.

The event, which has been dubbed the "MAGA Music Fest", kicks off on May 1 and runs through September 2026. It comes as music acts opened up about the backlash they are facing since signing up for Kid Rock's music festival.

1. Ha!-TickTock, you horse's ass.

[FakeNoose]

2. What an idiot! Try renaming it and see what happens

Nobody's buying tickets to anything called "MAGA." How about calling it the "ICE" music festival?

[3Hotdogs]

5. Great idea. Promo: Come and be with your fellow Iceholes.

[Totally Tunsie]

11. Is he trying to compete with "Melania" for least tickets sold?

3. Robert James Ritchie is a musician? OK.

4. What, the Kennedy Center isn't a venue?

I mean, it has Trump’s name on it so it’s an obvious MAGA Fest stop.

[mdbl]

7. I thought that was Kid Rock's new home venue now.

No one else wants to go there.

[ChicagoTeamster]

10. Yeah, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Nicky Minaj, Pat Boone, Jason Aldine, all headlining at the Kennedy Center

[mdbl]

12. Oh boy, a dream team of maga morons.

No thanks.

[JohnnyRingo]

6. Did the idiot think a partisan festival would go over big?

On either side really. "Liberal Fest 2026" would likely flop as well since many country fans would want to be seen there. The organizers could claim it was for "everybody", but it would still be pretty exclusive.

That ass had to put MAGA in there.

[Seinan Sensei]

8. Two more performers dropped out!

Might I suggest filling those now-empty blocks of time with a screening of “Melania”?

[ChazInAz]

9. Will ICE provide security?

That would be about as entertaining as Altamont.

[miyazaki]

13. He even had two? F*ck that hack. nt
