Kid Rock has shattered previous records with his “4th of July on Central Park” concert, setting a new benchmark in ticket sales. The previous record, held by country superstar Garth Brooks, stood at just under a million tickets. Kid Rock has surpassed this by an impressive margin, selling over 1.2 million tickets.
Expressing his astonishment and gratitude, Kid Rock told Fox News that he is both “stunned and humbled” by the overwhelming support from his fans. He praised his audience, stating, “They really are the best,” and mentioned that his fans should feel honored to see him perform live. “They adore me for good reason,” he added confidently.
The concert promises a nostalgic journey through Kid Rock’s musical career, featuring all of his biggest hits, including the iconic collaborations from the 90s. However, not all his former collaborators share the same enthusiasm. Sheryl Crow, who famously worked with Kid Rock, has made it clear that she has no intention of joining him on stage. Crow remarked, “I wouldn’t be caught dead touring with Kid Rock,” citing his “inability to think for himself” as a significant factor that has overshadowed any sense he “may have once had.”
Despite Crow’s absence, the concert will still see appearances from other musicians. Ted Nugent is expected to make an appearance, though it remains uncertain if he will perform. In a candid conversation with Donald Trump Jr. at a Christmas party, Kid Rock reportedly commented, “He’s not very good,” casting doubt on Nugent’s participation.
This record-breaking event not only highlights Kid Rock’s enduring popularity but also underscores the resonance of his message with his fan base. As he prepares to take the stage in Central Park, it’s clear that Kid Rock’s influence and appeal remain as strong as ever.
