In a move that’s as audacious as it is political, Kid Rock and country sensation Oliver Anthony have taken a stand by cancelling all New York stops on their eagerly awaited “Long Live America” tour. This decision, fueled by their steadfast support for “45”—Donald Trump—sends a resounding message far beyond the realm of concert schedules. It’s a declaration that resonates with political undertones, stirring discussions across the nation.
The tour’s website makes their stance unmistakably clear: “We support 45.” This direct endorsement of the former president, coupled with a pointed critique of New York’s treatment of him, marks a pivotal moment in the intersection of music, politics, and culture. Opting out of New York—a state that promised a significant boost to local economies with its dozen-plus scheduled concerts—is a bold reflection of their priorities and principles.
Beyond the political statement, this cancellation spells out tangible losses. The “Long Live America” tour was not just a series of concerts; it was an anticipated economic influx, a beacon of patriotic celebration for many in what they perceive as a challenging political landscape. The decision to bypass New York deprives countless fans of an evening of unity and musical jubilation, alongside the economic benefits for venues and local businesses.
The fallout extends to venues across the state, each facing the sting of lost opportunity. Consider a hypothetical venue in the heart of upstate New York, poised to host the tour amidst its most bustling season. The anticipation of a night where music and patriotism converge under one roof, with expectations of sell-out crowds, local vendors benefiting from the influx, and the community coming together for a memorable event, now dissolves into disappointment.
