Kid Rock finds new music festival to scare people away from
The latest in a steady stream of MAGA festival failures arrives after Kid Rock failed to sell six VIP tickets to his music fest.
Freedom Fest, a prominent event in the MAGA festival circuit, has been canceled for 2022, with Kid Rock initially mentioned as the headliner for 2026. The festival is hosted by Eric Deters, a former Kentucky gubernatorial candidate, who stated he would "never, ever, ever, ever, ever" do this event again after being targeted by internet commenters and the liberal media.
Deters claimed the event's failure was not due to lack of interest, believing 5,000 to 15,000 regular attendees were excited about the free festival. However, Kid Rock's name only managed to sell six VIP tickets. The festival, scheduled for Saturday, was to feature acts like Kid Rock and Dog the Bounty Hunter. Despite Deters' claims, Kid Rock's participation did not significantly boost ticket sales.
