Kid Rock announces dates for his ‘No Snowflakes Summer’ tour

March 7, 2023 | | Print Article

Kid Rock announced tour dates for his “No Snowflakes Summer” concerts on Monday, and the dates include a show in the Motor City where he grew up.

The iconic 52-year-old rocker who now hails from Nashville will embark on a four-city limited run that will feature different special guests each night, according to a tweet shared online. The special guests include Chris Janson, Marcus King, Travis Tritt, and Grand Funk Railroad.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, will kick off the tour in Austin, Texas. Staying in the Lone Star state, he will next appear at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, before heading home to Nashville and concluding the run in Detroit.

Not afraid to voice his opinion, Kid Rock drew the ire of the left when he embraced Donald Trump. Not that he let that dissuade his actions, as seen last year when he blasted “dumb liberals” who move to red states and bring their “effing politics” with them.

The slam came as Kid Rock endeavored to save the former home of legendary country music star Hank Williams from being destroyed.

“We are sick of seeing history torn to the ground,” he said during an appearance on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“Whether it be in the form of monuments, statues, and now something so important here in Nashville, like the former home of Hank Williams, Beechwood Hall. … Where does this end?” he asked.

“We kind of knew that from the beginning, once this fiasco started that it was never going to end,” he added. “And now we kind of feel like we’re under an invasion from the state of California, which we understand in a lot of ways. I have a lot of friends here that come from these spots — California and New York City.”

The rocker voiced his disdain for “woke policies,” and for people who bring their failed politics with them.

“A lot of people say it, and they say it under their breath, but they’re scared to say it out loud,” he continued. “So, once again, I’ll be the guy: They come here leaving these woke policies from those cities for better schools, lower taxes, lower crime. You have talked about it a million times. We kind of tell them to leave your effing politics at the state line from where you’re coming. And this is just one more example.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
