Kid Rock, the self-proclaimed “American Badass” who once bravely fought against the unauthorized sale of circus peanuts (okay, not really, but it sounds on-brand for him), shared his excitement about the tour. “Man, this is gonna be bigger than when I found out Waffle House had a secret menu,” he declared, as he brandished a tattoo of an American flag merged with a guitar.

Meanwhile, Jason Aldean, a country star known for his love of big green tractors and occasionally singing about them, seemed equally ecstatic. “I think the tour is going to be a massive hit.
