Crowd Riot After Kid Rock Makes A Shocking Announcement

Kid Rock’s absence caused mayhem at the North Dakota State Fair.

After the 51-year-old Grammy Award nominee, canceled his performance at the last minute due to weather conditions Friday. Concertgoers in Minot, N.D., started trashing the venue and at least one fan was detained by police.

Video footage shows several audience members hurling bottles at the stage and one man was tackled after he climbed onto the platform. Police officers were later seen escorting him across the parking lot in handcuffs.

Kid Rock shared a statement on Twitter after canceling the show: “SO PISSED OFF we could not play for a sold-out crowd tonight in Minot, ND (because of high winds) – I know it sucks but none of us can control mother nature. Please be safe leaving and take care of each other.”

The audience had already spent two hours watching Night Ranger perform as the opening act when an officer from the Ward County Sheriff’s Department took the stage to announce headliner, Kid Rock, had been canceled.

“The Sheriff’s Department would like to clarify to tonight’s concert fans that the decision to cancel the Kid Rock concert was not made by the Sheriff’s Department. The Sheriff simply announced the cancellation. We did not cancel the show,” WCSD said in a statement.
