Kid Rock Announces MAGA-Themed Arena Tour, Stops in Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rock musician Kid Rock is bringing his newly announced seven-city arena tour to Louisville this spring. The 52-year-old artist, who last visited the city in 2024 for the 150th Kentucky Derby and Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala, will perform at the KFC Yum! Center, 1 Arena Plaza, on Friday, March 28.

Kid Rock described the limited-run tour as a celebration of former President Donald Trump‘s victory and the MAGA movement. “I wanted to play a few shows to celebrate President Trump’s victory and all things MAGA,” he said in a news release. “Being a huge supporter since he came down that escalator, myself and fans have taken a lot of heat from the liberal media … I still feel now is no time to gloat as we need to try and unite this great country, but I see no wrong in celebrating with a few like-minded, hard-working patriots who love a big rock ‘n’ roll show and this country! The good lord knows we deserve it.”

Joining Kid Rock on tour is country music artist Chris Janson, known for hits like “Buy A Boat,” “Good Vibes,” and “All I Need Is You.” Janson’s current radio single, “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get,” is also gaining traction.

Fans can register for a pre-sale passcode between now and Jan. 20 at Kid Rock’s official website. The passcode will allow early ticket purchases starting Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 10 a.m. General ticket sales begin Friday, Jan. 24, at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the KFC Yum! Center box office. Tickets for the Louisville concert start at $45.

Louisville is the third stop on Kid Rock’s tour, which includes performances in Omaha, Nebraska (March 21); Minneapolis, Minnesota (March 22); Milwaukee, Wisconsin (March 29); Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (April 11); Wichita, Kansas (April 18); and Kansas City, Missouri (April 19).
