Kid Rock is back in the spotlight in 2025 with a mix of music, business, and political headlines. From wrapping up a successful U.S. arena tour to launching a new upscale restaurant in Nashville, the singer continues to be a magnet for attention—both for his entertainment ventures and his outspoken views.
The artist known for blending rock, rap, and country also took part in political events and co-headlined a patriotic music festival with Nickelback. His presence in both music and media remains strong, making him one of the most talked-about public figures of the year so far.
Spring Tour Draws Huge Crowds Across the Midwest
Kid Rock kicked off a seven-city arena tour in March 2025 that ran through April. Starting in Omaha and ending in Kansas City, the tour attracted thousands of fans across the Midwest. Concertgoers enjoyed a powerful mix of classic hits like “Bawitdaba” and “Cowboy,” along with newer tracks from his latest album.
The shows were known for their energetic atmosphere, patriotic themes, and large stage productions. The tour helped reestablish Kid Rock’s strong fan base after a quieter period, proving he still knows how to command a stage and engage a crowd.
“The Detroit Cowboy” Restaurant Opens in Nashville
In May 2025, Kid Rock launched a new restaurant in downtown Nashville called The Detroit Cowboy. This high-end eatery focuses on steak and seafood, setting itself apart from his previous ventures. The restaurant has become popular among conservative-leaning customers and received an endorsement from Donald Trump via his social platform, Truth Social.
Unlike his previous more casual venues, The Detroit Cowboy has a more refined menu and upscale atmosphere. It’s quickly becoming a hot spot for fans of Kid Rock and supporters of the MAGA movement.
Controversy Around His Former Restaurant Resurfaces
Around the same time, Kid Rock’s older venue—Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse—made headlines after reports that undocumented workers were asked to leave. The news came amid rumors of possible immigration enforcement activity in the area.
Kid Rock responded by clarifying that he does not personally manage the business but expressed support for immigration law enforcement. The issue sparked a heated online debate, showing how his ventures continue to stir both support and criticism.
Rock the Country Festival Celebrates Small-Town America
After his arena tour, Kid Rock co-headlined the Rock the Country music festival with Nickelback. The traveling event visited ten small towns across the U.S., featuring performances by country rock icons such as Hank Williams Jr., Travis Tritt, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The festival celebrated American pride, country living, and music that resonates with rural communities. It was well received by attendees and further cemented Kid Rock’s image as an artist who appeals to blue-collar America.
Kid Rock Joins Trump to Sign Executive Order on Ticket Sales
Kid Rock’s political involvement continues to grow. In April 2025, he appeared alongside former President Donald Trump during the signing of an executive order aimed at stopping ticket scalping. The order strengthens the enforcement of the BOTS Act, which targets automated software that buys up tickets and resells them at inflated prices.
Kid Rock praised the move, calling it “a win for real fans who just want a fair shot at seeing a show.” His continued appearances at conservative events keep him closely tied to MAGA politics.
