Ludacris Dropped From Rock the Country Festival After Fan Outrage Over Political Mismatch
The Rock the Country festival has removed rapper Ludacris from its 2026 line-up following fan backlash. Organisers attributed his inclusion to a 'mix-up' after fans questioned his fit with the event's conservative political tone. The festival features performers like Kid Rock and Jason Aldean, known for their right-wing views. Ludacris was initially announced as part of the festival's line-up, but his planned performance sparked criticism from attendees who felt he didn't align with the event's political leanings. The festival's representative later confirmed Ludacris' removal, describing his inclusion as an error. No official statement from Ludacris or his team has addressed the controversy. The festival's line-up remains focused on conservative-leaning artists like Kid Rock and Jason Aldean, whose political stances have previously sparked debates among music fans and industry observers. Ludacris has been removed from the Rock the Country festival after public criticism, with organisers citing a 'mix-up' but providing no further details. The event will proceed with its original conservative-leaning performers in 2026.
