10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I like the idea that "Kid Rock" can just be another way to refer to Epstein Island. "Oh, you're a big fan of Kid Rock, are you? That's pretty creepy."
Good for the artists.
Why did they drop in?
I was more curious why they accepted in the first place
To answer the question: a lot of touring bands have all their bookings handled by either a manager or the label. They may not have even known they were a part of the festival until it was announced.
Good point, but man if I were in a band and found out my manager signed us up for that, they would be immediately fired if I had the choice. I assume with the label there are definitely contracts in place that muddle things.
That was my point
Ah misread your comment
😉
They e all got agents, who are driven by making money. Artists ha e a say on their venues though, so when shit goes down, they can pull out because "they* never committed in the first place. Agent says "here's a gig" and they say great, until they find out it's a presidential puff party and they get a chance to back out before the contracted deadline. Standard boiler plate business transaction.
Are the artists still playing in the other cities or is the whole show over?
It's definitely not clear. The reasons cited by two acts strongly suggest that they've completely dropped out of the entire tour. The others didn't state reasons, so ... 🤷🏻
My wild ass guess is that the rest of the cities are still scheduled just because there's enough time that organizers think they can still find replacement acts. So, those tour dates may still fall.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
Agents be husslin
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.
