Shinedown Bows Out of Kid Rock’s Rock the Country Tour Over Division Concerns
TL;DR
Shinedown has pulled out of Kid Rock’s Rock the Country tour, saying they don’t want to participate in something they fear will create further division given the artist’s MAGA ties and TPUSA association. The band joins other exits like Morgan Wade and Carter Faith, though the rest of the lineup—including Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert and Nelly—remains, with the tour kicking off May 1 in Bellville, Texas.
