Overview
- Organizers launched a limited-time deal for seven stops that uses code FUEL to offer up to 50% off general-admission tickets, with $59 single-day and $99 weekend passes, and they cited rising fuel and transportation costs.
- Following the discount announcement, the festival said Jelly Roll will not play the Sioux Falls stop and that Staind will take his slot, while Jelly Roll remains scheduled for Bloomingdale, Georgia, and Ashland, Kentucky.
- The bill also grew in Ocala, Florida, where Miranda Lambert and Jon Pardi were added to the rotating lineup that features headliners Kid Rock and Jason Aldean.
- Fans who bought earlier at higher prices filled the festival’s social pages with refund requests and complaints about being told initial prices were the lowest and about shifting artist rosters.
- Reporting framed the tour as MAGA-adjacent because several stars back Trump, and PR experts said cutting prices in half often signals weak ticket demand.
