Organizers for Kid Rock's 'Rock the Country Tour' are begging for grace after attendees slammed the MAGA music festival over muddy conditions and extreme delays on day one.

The tour, which is a 7-show small-town festival celebrating the country's 250th anniversary, kicked off on Friday, May 1, in Bellville, Texas. Organizers pleaded for leniency as festivalgoers slammed the tour for having 'the worst event management' amid calls for refunds. Kid Rock is expected to close out the show on Saturday, May 1.

The complaints came after attendees were left stranded in the rain for hours on day 1 of the MAGA music festival.

    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.
