Kid Rock’s Rock The Country Festival seems to be struggling with sales, causing the MAGA star to cut ticket prices in half.
The conservative country rocker revealed that fans can now score Rock The Country festival tickets for a whopping 50% off general admission. The discount applies to all seven of the festival’s stops, including Bellville, Texas; Bloomingdale, Georgia; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Ashland, Kentucky; Hastings, Michigan; Ocala, Florida; and Hamburg, New York.
“Hey you American Loving people! We have a few super important updates for you!” Kid Rock shared in an Instagram post. “Fuel costs are up and we want to help! In response to rising transportation costs, you can enjoy up to 50% off general admission passes to any of 7 small town stops for a limited time only.”
For those just dying to get in on the action: Kid Rock urged fans to use the code “FUEL” for $59 single-day tickets and $99 weekend GA tickets via the festival’s official website.
“Take advantage of this offer, fill up your tank, and we’ll see you this summer! Promotion ends April 23rd at midnight ET,” Kid Rock said.

While Kid Rock has cited “fuel costs” for the dramatic slash in ticket prices, it’s safe to say that the festival hasn’t been selling well, considering previous backlash. Already, Rock The Country’s South Carolina edition had to be cancelled after the rockers of Shinedown pulled-out of the event earlier this year.
“We have one BOSS, and it is everyone in the audience,” Shinedown said. “Our band’s purpose is to unite, not divide. With that in mind, we have made the decision that we will not be playing the Rock The Country Festival. We know this decision will create differences of opinion. But we do not want to participate in something we believe will create further division.”
Additionally, Ludacris, who was originally listed on the lineup, pulled-out of the festival. His representative told Rolling Stone that there was a “mix up” of his inclusion on the bill, noting that “lines got crossed and he wasn’t supposed to be on there.”
While Rock The Country doesn’t necessarily state its affiliation with a certain political party, it’s definitely catered towards right-leaning fans. Kid Rock, who notably aligns politically with President Donald Trump, even noted in a statement that “Rock The Country isn’t just a music festival; it’s a movement.”
“In 2026, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this is a place for hard-working, God-fearing patriots to gather as one and celebrate freedom, music, and the party of the year,” Rock said.
Following Shinedown’s removal from the event, organizers noted in a statement that “the shows ahead represent the heart of what Rock the Country stands for: music, community and pride in where we come from.”
They cheekily added: “loving America isn’t political; it’s who we are.”
Other artists set to perform at the festival include country stars Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Jelly Roll, and Miranda Lambert, rock’s Creed, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as rapper Nelly.
