Kid Rock fans trash venue after singer was forced to cancel gig
Angry fans trashed the concert venue at the North Dakota State Fair after Kid Rock canceled his performance due to inclement weather.
Video shows members of the 18,000-person crowd throwing beer cans and other trash after a sheriff's department officer announced the cancellation late Friday.
At least one fan tried to storm the stage but was tackled by security. Another unruly concertgoer was led away in handcuffs by police.
Rock, 51, took to Twitter to announce the cancellation, telling fans he was 'SO P***ED OFF' he couldn't perform. The All Summer Long singer also encouraged attendees to 'be safe' when leaving the venue and 'take care of each other.'
The musician, in recent years, has made headlines for his use of homophobic slurs, disdain for COVID-19 mandates and vocal support of former President Donald Trump.
He actually kicked off his current tour with a video introduction from Trump after having promised fans he wouldn't play any venues that with COVID regulations.
Rock was expected to take the stage around 9.30pm Friday after a more than two-hour performance by opening act, Night Ranger.
But a storm brewing on the outskirts of Minot, North Dakota kept delaying the show.
A Ward County Sheriff's Department officer finally took the stage around 11pm to announce the concert was cancelled, resulting in backlash from the crowd.
Fans began to riot, throwing their trash at officials and all over the venue. Concertgoers also loudly expressed their frustrations, inaudibly yelling as the chaos ensued.
Video obtained by TMZ shows lines all police cars surrounded the fairgrounds as the crowd was ushered out. At least one person was arrested.
The Bawitdaba singer apologized to his fans online, saying he was upset he 'could not play for the sold out crowd tonight.'
'I know it sucks but none of us can control mother nature,' he said, attributing the cancellation to 'high winds.'
'Please be safe leaving and take care of each other.'
The North Dakota State Fair issued a statement on Facebook telling attendees the show was canceled 'due to safety concerns of the high winds, lightning, and severe weather in the area.'
The venue will be issuing refunds to all ticket holders.
The sheriff's office, which had been tasked with cancelling the show, also took to social media to clarify the 'decision to cancel the Kid Rock concert was not made by the Sheriff's Department.'
'The Sheriff simply announced the cancellation,' the department posted. 'We did not cancel the show.'
