Musician Kid Rock has said that he will not be performing in venues with vaccine passports in his upcoming Bad Reputation Tour. He would rather refund fans money for their tickets.

“If you think I’m going to sit out there and say, ‘Don’t tell me how to live,’ and ‘We the people,’ while people are holding up their fucking vaccine cards and wearing masks, that shit ain’t happening,” Kid Rock said in a video posted to his Facebook on Thursday.
“There’s been a lot of talk about vaccine mandates and venues, people saying, ‘I’m not going to that venue, because there’s a vaccine mandate’ — trust me, we’ve done all our research on this, and the consensus says that all this is going to be done,” he said.
“If there are any of these venues, they’re going to be gone by the time we get to your city. If they’re not, trust me, you don’t have to worry. You’re going to be getting your money back, because I won’t be showing up, either.”
In the video, he confirmed that he’d canceled Toronto, Canada, and Buffalo, NY, off the list over mandates.
“I’m not one way or the other, but I don’t want to deal with that shit either, and I know that you don’t,” he added.
The Bad Reputation Tour will kick off on April 6 in Evansville, IN, and is to conclude on September 17, in Clarkston, MI.
On Monday, the musician released a political song, “We the People,” which blasts pandemic-related mandates, Fauci, and Biden.
Last November, he released a protest track, “Don’t Tell Me How to Live.”
