Rock the Country, Kid Rock’s country music festival that critics have labeled a “MAGA fest,” has been canceled in South Carolina after a string of artists dropped out.

The multi-city festival was scheduled to run for two days per venue in eight U.S. states from May 1 to September 21.

However, its stop in Anderson, South Carolina — which was scheduled for July 25 and 26 — will no longer take place, county administrator Rusty Burns told Fox Carolina.

    Country music festival? Is Kid Rock a country artist? When I knew about Kid Rock he was…rock. Granted that I have only heard like 2 of his songs. Is country rock a genre? I know this isn’t the point of the post, but conservative grifting stuff is worth less thought than what genre of music Kid Rock does.

    Shinedown doesn’t seem to be the type of band that would have accepted to begin with. And it appears that Ludacris wasn’t even aware he was slated for it.
