kicked off on Friday, May 1, in Bellville, Texas.

Kid Rock is expected to close out the show on Saturday, May 1.

They can't even report the schedule correctly, what a mess

At least the reporting is at the same level as the event planning

Not sure how event planners are supposed to avoid mud after a rain.

Not that I'm defending the organizers, but the attendees sound like idiots. A bunch of maga texans who think they're tough, listening to music aggrandizing machismo culture and the rugged "cowboy" aesthetic, crying when it rains. What a bunch of losers.

They deserve every minute of misery that they get for wanting to see the washed up has-been mascot of the fascist regime in concert.

You throw down hay. Or use plastic walk ways.

If you're organizing a music festival, rain should be something you have a contingency plan for.

Okay, well I still don't care. They could all get stuck in the mud and dug up as fossils a hundred million years from now for all I care.

I mean any person with a soul and hearing wouldn't listen to kid rock....hell I mean these people are terrible for lots of other reasons also.

I was thinking, I have never been to a festival that had any special procedure for protecting attendees from the rain. Just wear a coat. Or don't, it can get pretty hot in some crowds.
