Hondo Rodeo Fest Update: Kid Rock Takes the Stage

Hondo Rodeo Fest is fast approaching, scheduled for November 7 to 9 at Chase Field, where rodeo events and live music will abound. Originally, Cody Johnson was set to headline on Saturday night, but due to a ruptured eardrum, he has had to withdraw from the event. In his place, Kid Rock will now take the stage. Additionally, there are rumors of him headlining Turning Point USA's ?American Patriot Super Bowl Halftime Show,? a response to the Trump administration's objection to Bad Bunny's upcoming performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime. While Kid Rock's participation has been confirmed, reactions online have been largely negative. A Reddit thread expressed disappointment over his selection, with users sharing critical remarks about his music and past lyrics, particularly from his controversial song ?Osmosis Jones.? Despite the backlash, a few supporters defended him, noting that opinions on artists can vary widely. For now, it appears Kid Rock will be performing at the fest unless there are any further changes to the lineup.
