Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Kid Rock's Rock the Country Tour Faces Major Shake-Up: Anderson Date Dropped After Artist Exits! Imagine gearing up for an epic country-rock festival showdown, only for headliners like **Shinedown**, **Creed**, and others to bail—now Kid Rock's tour just axed its Anderson, SC stop. Buckle up, music fans: the 2026 Rock the Country lineup is evolving fast, but the party's still raging across America.[1][2] Kid Rock, the undisputed king of **country-rap-rock**, is co-headlining multiple stops on this multi-city festival tour hitting eight U.S. spots from May to September. Despite the drama—**Shinedown** pulling out as co-headliner for the South Carolina show (making **Creed** a no-go too), plus **Ludacris** exiting due to a "mix-up," and others like Carter Faith and Morgan Wade vanishing from bills—the core rebels are locked in. Jason Aldean, Jelly Roll, Blake Shelton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Miranda Lambert, Hank Williams Jr., Jon Pardi, Brantley Gilbert, and more are set to deliver throwback vibes, happy hour DJ sets, and festival host Chelcie Lynn's signature chaos.[2][3][4]

But here's the real fireworks: Kid Rock isn't slowing down. He's launching his **Freedom 250 Tour**—a patriotic nod to America's 250th birthday—with 10 outdoor dates from May 1 in Dallas to June 20. Openers like Jon Pardi, Brantley Gilbert, Big & Rich, Parker McCollum, and Them Dirty Roses join the fray at venues like Dos Equis Pavilion, Coastal Credit Union Music Park, and Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. Tickets drop February 13 via Live Nation, and Rock the Country passes start at just $2.50 down via Ticketmaster. Check rockthecountry.com for your city's lineup—Bellville, TX; Bloomingdale, GA; Sioux Falls, SD; and more are still stacked.[1][3] This shake-up proves rock 'n' roll's unpredictable edge keeps it alive. Kid Rock's stake in the festival means he's all-in, turning setbacks into high-octane highlights. Who's your must-see act now? **Ready to rock?
