    Screw any band doing this. I hate this whole thing. It’s made me rethink even wanting to see Shinedown after their drummers comments about Ludacris pulling out. Even with pulling out and their statement after, they didn’t seem to cover the drummers comments.

    Festivalgoers demanded refunds after several said they were still waiting in line to get in during the performances of Chase Matthew, Ella Langley, and Jason Aldean. One person who attended the opening night of the festival described the grounds as “wet and nasty.”

    Should’ve sprung for the VIP entrance fee, stupid poors.

    The tour, which is a 7-show small-town festival celebrating the country’s 250th anniversary, kicked off on Friday, May 1, in Bellville, Texas. Organizers pleaded for leniency as festivalgoers slammed the tour for having ‘the worst event management’ amid calls for refunds. Kid Rock is expected to close out the show on Saturday, May 1.

    The backlash continued on Sunday, May 2, after the day’s lineup was shared by the festival on social media, which did not feature one act - Aaron Lewis and the Stateliners.

    Uh, what?

      I’m assuming it was a two day thing, and Kid Rock closed out the first night for whatever reason.

        Its more the dates being screwed up. Saturday was May 2nd and Sunday, the day the article was written and released, was May 3rd.

    Organizers for Kid Rock’s ‘Rock the Country Tour’ are begging for grace after attendees slammed the MAGA music festival over muddy conditions and extreme delays on day one.

    The tour, which is a 7-show small-town festival celebrating the country’s 250th anniversary, kicked off on Friday, May 1, in Bellville, Texas. Organizers pleaded for leniency as festivalgoers slammed the tour for having ‘the worst event management’ amid calls for refunds. Kid Rock is expected to close out the show on Saturday, May 1.

    The complaints came after attendees were left stranded in the rain for hours on day 1 of the MAGA music festival.

      They can’t even report the schedule correctly, what a mess

          Not sure how event planners are supposed to avoid mud after a rain.

          Not that I’m defending the organizers, but the attendees sound like idiots. A bunch of maga texans who think they’re tough, listening to music aggrandizing machismo culture and the rugged “cowboy” aesthetic, crying when it rains. What a bunch of losers.

          They deserve every minute of misery that they get for wanting to see the washed up has-been mascot of the fascist regime in concert.

            I was thinking, I have never been to a festival that had any special procedure for protecting attendees from the rain. Just wear a coat. Or don’t, it can get pretty hot in some crowds.

            You throw down hay. Or use plastic walk ways.

            If you’re organizing a music festival, rain should be something you have a contingency plan for.

              Okay, well I still don’t care. They could all get stuck in the mud and dug up as fossils a hundred million years from now for all I care.

    Title disappointment. The hate is not over it being a MAGA event, but it being poorly managed.

    ‘A fool and his money are soon parted’ is pretty much the national motto at this point.
