Kid Rock announced on January 24 that he would be returning for concerts in his home state of Michigan. Then, four days later, he announced that he might cancel any of the 24 shows on his Bad Reputation Tour if COVID-19 safety protocols were enforced within the venues.
 “He’s been called The American Bad-Ass,” his 2022 tour website states.
“You’re going to be getting your money back because I won’t be showing up,” Kid Rock said on his Facebook page. “… People are holding up their [expletive] vaccine cards and wearing masks, that [expletive] ain’t happening.”
The musician disclosed that there were some cities on his tour that he, deliberately, did not book because of safety-protocol enforcement, according to MLive.com.
Kid Rock is scheduled to appear in two Texas cities this summer: in Spring, Texas at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on June 24 at 7 p.m. and in Dallas at the Dos Equis Pavilion on June 25 at 7 p.m.
The Dos Equis Pavilion has both indoor and outdoor seating. Its website does not display COVID-19 safety protocols, and calls to request comments by The Dallas Express were not returned by the time this article was published.
Kid Rock released a single this week in conjunction with his tour entitled We the People, which mocks President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci, Fox News reports.
“Wear your mask, take your pills / now a whole generation’s mentally ill!” Kid Rock raps in the single.
 According to POLITICO, conservative members of Congress are encouraging Kid Rock to run for a Tennessee House seat in the 2022 midterm elections.
