Kid Rock and Blake Shelton are hitting the road together, bringing what they’re calling a “Non-Woke Red States Tour” to audiences across conservative America. The announcement comes on the heels of Donald Trump’s recent re-election, a political shift that seems to have ignited a new energy among country and rock artists looking to bring “good old-fashioned” entertainment back to their fans. In their joint press release, Kid Rock and Shelton promised a tour filled with patriotism, beer, and music that “doesn’t apologize for being real.”
“We’re officially back!” Kid Rock proclaimed in a video on social media, grinning from beneath his iconic fedora. “This is the kind of tour that celebrates America the way we remember it.” Shelton joined in, saying, “It’s about time we had a show that doesn’t worry about being ‘politically correct.’ This one’s for the fans who don’t want to tiptoe around the fun.”
While many concert tours today come with hashtags about activism and inclusivity, Kid Rock and Blake Shelton are going in a different direction. Promising a tour free from “woke agendas” and “canceled culture,” the two stars are making it clear that they’re embracing a more traditional approach, with a focus on freedom, fun, and faith.
“Look, we love our country and we’re tired of feeling like we can’t say that,” Kid Rock told fans. “This isn’t about dividing people—it’s about bringing people together over music that doesn’t apologize.” Shelton added, “People are sick of feeling judged for having a beer or waving the American flag. We’re here to say, ‘Let’s have a good time and remember what we love about this country.’”
