Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, commented on the tour, saying, “This isn’t about being left or right, man. This is about common sense. It’s about not letting a bunch of people who spend all day on Twitter tell us what we can and can’t say. I’m not here for that, and I know there’s a lot of people out there who aren’t either.”
The rocker continued, “We’re hitting all the big cities, but we’re also going to small towns, places where people don’t give a damn about what’s trending on social media. They just want to live their lives without someone getting offended by every little thing.”
The “Woke is Whack” tour is set to hit major cities like Dallas, Detroit, and Atlanta, but it will also stop in some more rural locations that, according to the duo, are “the heart of real America.” With a 30-date schedule starting in late September, the tour promises to bring back the vibe of those carefree days of 90s rap-rock while delivering a firm message that “woke culture” is over.
While the concerts are expected to be packed with nostalgic hits like “Ice Ice Baby” and “All Summer Long,” fans can also anticipate some pretty heated monologues. Kid Rock, known for breaking into political tirades mid-concert, has hinted that he plans to take it up a notch for this tour. Vanilla Ice has similarly suggested he’ll be speaking out about his frustrations with today’s “sensitive” culture.
