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.
