Rock the Country, a music festival critics have labelled a “MAGA fest”, has been cancelled in Anderson, South Carolina, following a series of artist withdrawals.
The Anderson County stop, originally scheduled for July 25 and 26, will no longer take place, as confirmed by county administrator Rusty Burns.
Rock band Shinedown announced their exit, stating their decision was to avoid creating “further division” and to uphold their purpose of uniting people through music.
Rapper Ludacris also dropped off the bill, with his representative indicating a ‘mix-up’ regarding his initial inclusion.
I always knew these new age fascists of the younger generations were going to fuse country music and gangster rap. And metal. Luckily there are about zero bands that don’t suck that will knowingly front for these guys. There are a lot of crypto nazi bands though, a lot a lot, but not ones willing to openly nazi it at a festival for nazis.
