Kid Rock Performs At Trump Victory Rally – Watch
Kid Rock turned up the heat at a Make America Great Again victory rally ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration. On Sunday, January 19, just a day before Trump’s swearing-in, the musician performed an electrifying four-song set at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., blending patriotism with his signature rock ‘n’ roll energy.
A Grand Entrance and High-Energy Opening
The rally started with a gospel-style chorus chanting “U-S-A,” setting the stage for Kid Rock’s arrival. Sporting a fur coat and standing behind a Trump-Vance podium, he launched into his 2008 hit, “All Summer Long.” Adding flair to the performance, Rock took a break to spin some beats on the turntables, donning his iconic Make America Great Again red cap. Hyping up the crowd, he shouted, “Welcome to the Make America Great Again victory rally. Do you feel good? I have one question for you. Is MAGA in the house tonight?”
Trump’s Message and Rock’s Patriotic Setlist
Before diving into his second song, a pre-recorded message from Donald Trump played for the crowd. Over the sound system, Trump praised Rock and the audience:
“Hello everyone, I love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight. Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are the true backbone of our country, hardworking, God-fearing rock ‘n’ roll patriots. Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time. Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most of all, let’s make America rock again.”
Rock then delivered his anti-Biden anthem, “We the People,” with the infamous “Let’s Go Brandon” chorus. Shifting gears, he honored America’s servicemen and women with his 2018 single, “American Rock ‘n’ Roll,” before closing the night with his breakout hit, “Bawitdaba.”
Kid Rock’s performance was a bold blend of music and politics, with each track fueling the energy of a passionate crowd. You can check out the full performance, shared by PBS Newshour, on YouTube.
