Another Kid Rock Festival Gets Cancelled Due to No One Buying Tickets

Deters said the event was unaffordable after only six people bought $1,000 VIP tickets, and he canceled a lineup that included Kid Rock.

  • On Monday, September 21, organizer Eric Deters canceled the Patriots Day Freedom Fest scheduled for September 26 in Kentucky after only six VIP tickets sold at $1,000 each.
  • Deters had hoped to cover event costs by selling $1,000 VIP tickets to about 100 regular contacts but stated he could not personally finance the gathering after predicting a 50,000-person crowd.
  • The event's lineup featured Kid Rock, Republican U.S. Representative James Comer, and Duane 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' Chapman; Deters expressed frustration that key contacts failed to purchase tickets or help.
  • Deters pledged, "I am never ever, ever, ever, ever doing this event again," marking the third cancellation since 2023.
  • While about 10,000 people attended the rally in 2022, 2026 joins 2023 as a year without the festival, departing from Deters' original plan to hold it annually.
