Artists keep pulling out of Great American State Fair lineup
Martina McBride, Morris Day and The Time, Young MC and The Commodores have pulled out of Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair, an event organized by Keith Krach, a Trump appointee. Martina McBride said "What we were told is not, in fact, what is happening" and Morris Day said he would not participate after being named; The Commodores issued a statement saying they "support the betterment of all Americans." Their departures strip marquee talent from the lineup and underscore how artists are distancing themselves from events tied to partisan organizers, threatening the event's credibility and future ticket sales.
Here’s an updated list of artists who dropped out of the orange felon’s trashy fake state fair: Martina McBride Young MC C+C Music Factory Milli Vanilli The Commodores Morris Day & The Time Good, no one with morals should appease a fascist Dictator criminal.
Milli Vanilli thinking this is too fake.
They don’t seem to be dropping out as much being shocked to learn that they were listed
Kid rock will be the only one😂
But what about the Village Peepul? 🤪
Ricky The office of #MilliVanilli denied his participation on #Freedom250 #MartinaMcBride just confirming NO participation on the same event !!! Reporting is all about properly verifying information before uploading it to social media
Thank them by buying their music. Recommend The Time, Get it up.
Looks like he’’ll have to call in the big guns, Kid Rock and Ted Nugent as last minute replacements. 🤣
Even Milli Vanilli couldn’t fake it!
Just have RFK Jr and the Brainworms handle some snakes.
Hope they've got Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, the Village People and Vanilla Ice on speed dial.
I thought Freedom from C&C made a whole ass video while sitting on the toilet defending his God given right to be a piece of shit? Huh, guess he changed his mind
Wow, he lost Milli Vanilli. You have lost the game😳
The Child Rapist can ask his ever classy 60 year old "kid' (rock?) to do some more lip syncing if it's an early job ... As he will wothout a dbout be to drunk by noon to do it ..
I'm still waiting on Flo Rida, has ANYONE gotten him on the phone yet?
Nikki Minaj and Kid Rock are probably waiting by their phones 😂
When you lose Milli Vanilla…🙄
Why did they ever agree in the first place?
Freedom Williams did not confirm, looks like some problems about the name are about to pop!
I hope that many more music artists not only pull out of Trump’s fake state fair, but also refuse to perform in the first place. This man deserves nothing but contempt and disgust. He will do nothing but turn America’s celebration into a celebration of himself.
I’m sure kid rock will be more than happy to play every night 😂
The Commodores? I saw them at an FSU homecoming in 1982.
Trump will show up and dance.
Ice Ice Baby on an hours long loop will make at least one of the MAGAs drown themselves in a port-a-potty. I’m here for it.
When you've lost Milli Vanilli ! 😱😵
BREAKING: Country Legend Martina McBride just CANCELLED her appearance at the Great American State Fair, after finding out it is now being turned into an event not to celebrate America, but a partisan stunt to celebrate Trump… Good. 😎✨
Commodores also cancelled. Way to go!
Good to know there must have been serious immediate backlash for these artists. I don’t like the I’m not political line some of them are giving though instead of rebuking. There’s no middle right now.
Good on her I knew there was a reason why I still liked her. Go Martina!
All these people were announced without a formal invitation. Supposedly?
Pretty soon, all that's left will be Kid Rock and Lara Lee Trump butchering another Tom Petty song.
They all need to perform somewhere else that day to show support 4 NO Kings
She just now found that out? Has she been living under a rock?
💀💀💀 "Exodus as stars pull out of Trump-linked 'Freedom 250' festival: 'Artists never told'" I knew Morris Day and the Time and Young MC would never do that shit. They were never even booked. 😂 Sad. Maybe, we can have Lee Greenwood sing "Proud to be an American" on a loop. Be best!
Veering, but Kennedy Center was telling a judge that Trump needs his name kept on it or people won't perform at the same time nobody will perform there... REALITY CHECK!
Wow! Even Milli Vanilli said to fuck off (or rather, they lip-synced it).. Who's next out?
They'll have Kid Rot screeching in the microphone, Chachi arm wrestling Sylvester Stallone while singing take me home country roads, and Ted Nugent will stab a live pig on TV and roast it with a match, and RFK Jr eats a live snake and snorts cocaine off of porta potty seat.
Carrie Underwood and Kid rock are on stnad-by
It's difficult to be proud to be an American after everything that Trump has done 😞 Real talk 💙
Bret Michaels is out. Cheers🤣
Even the Love Boat guy shouted out to them I've read that The Commodores and Flo Rida will still perform
Isn't this fun! Martina McBride is OUT!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=627Q... THIS GUY would perform for Trump? Fuck no. He is wayyy too cool
Time is a friend. Time is a foe. We're so very foed up at this point. November is likely to be the barometer of any near-future change. People desperate to maintain power will use absurd & desperate measures.
Kraznov mentioned that they have drugs that bring people back to life so I expect we'll see Toby Keith signed on last minute. Who knows maybe even Hulk Hogan too. Now that would be a freak show. I am sad that Rob Ritchie's name isn't on the list..🙄
No! Wait! It'll be the Lara Trump Comeback Tour! Featuring her new hit, Born In The USA. And Kimberly, too! She can do her Greek Dance routine. After all, the Best! Is Yet! To Come! Oh, no! Is it? Could it be? No way!!! It's Rapper B, Baron Trump, with his alter ego, Damien Da Devil, w/ his hit
Why isn’t his white trash buddy Kid not on the list?
"Oh, so there's an open slot?"
Oh, that news about Morris Day and the Time makes me happy and relieved.
This tracks. I would be surprised if Commodores don't pull out as well.
No Ted Nugent or Kid Rock? Could they not post bail in time? 😏
Isn't Ted Nugent available? 🤣
😂 and Bahwitabah from Kid Asshole Rock.
I'm sure Kid Rock will be the headliner.
It will be kid rock and Ted Nugent 😅😅😅 .
The lineup for the National Mall event continues to shrink as artists back out
The Commodores are now out as well
Be pretty funny if it just ended up being Vanilla Ice every day all day playing the hit
Are they "backing out," or saying that they never agreed to participate -- or were never even contacted?
A gig too problematic for Milli Vanilli.
They’ll be down to the Trump Family Singers at this rate.
Ivanka putting together the list:
C+C Music Factory frontman Freedom Williams, said he was not informed of the Great American State Fair's affiliation with Trump: "[My agent] didn't mention Trump. ... 'We're going to cancel C+C Music Factory. "So, I told my agent, 'Yeah, no, I ain't good to do that. I don't [support] Trump."
Wait ... the Vanilli peeled off?
By next week, we will need to have to settle for listening to a recording of "Tiny Dancer" for days on end instead.
I don’t think they’re backing out… I think it’s quite literally they were never confirmed or even asked to perform in the first place.
Not sure which is funnier, that Milli Vanilli was invited in the first place, or that they backed out.
There was a Vanilla Ice concert at a bar just off campus when I was in college, well into the “actually kind of sad” portion of his career. I didn’t go, but somebody threw a plastic bag full of urine onto him when he was on stage, and then a fight broke out and basically everybody got arrested.
It hasn’t even been two days since Freedom 250, the Trump-tied group organizing celebrations in honor of America’s 250th birthday, announced the lineup for its Great American State Fair concert series. But the series already appears DOA, with more than half of the scheduled performers fleeing.
it will end up being nothing but a trump/maga rally on the mall.
Sadly, the sweet sounds of "Unskinny Bop" will not reverberate through the capital in celebration of the Republic.
The concert lineup is going to be ted nugent and kid rock as the opening acts for a kid rock/ted nugent duet.
who is actually going to perform at the Great American State Fair, wrong answers only
a supergroup including the dude from The Offspring who got fired for being an antivaxxer and the dude from Mumford and Sons who got fired for worse opinions

Some MAGA parent who's on the board of their kid's youth orchestra in the DC suburbs will decide it's a chance to get the orchestra some exposure.
Anthrax. I mean, if RFK Jr. has anything to do with this.
The Defiant, the supergroup made up of Dicky Barrett from the Bosstones, the guitarist from Smashmouth, and other antivax Trumpers, are sitting by the phone and hoping right now.

A colleague and I used to have something we'd call the "Shit Philharmonic," which was kinda a fantasy orchestra made up of all the assholes/jerks/d-bags we've met who we didn't enjoy working with. Anyways, this sounds like the *perfect* gig for the Shit Philharmonic

The Great American State Fair lineup! Our living acts declined, so dead icons like Toby Keith & Hulk Hogan are performing from beyond the grave—leaving GARY BUSEY as our wild, live finale! @thegodshow.com #Minterland
Take Loretta off that list. That women sang about the Pill!
What about LAWRENCE WELK? LIBERACE??
Hilarious Hibby! Anita Bryant. 🤣😂
Anita Bryant!! Lmaooo. I may have peed my pants on this one! 😂😂😂
There's no way they are going through this much trouble defiling the dead and not also bringing David Allen Coe to the party.
Haha absolutely perfect! (That photo of Anita Bryant is hysterical). We got ourselves a dead celebrity MAGA hoedown!
Loretta Lynn. :( It's sad when country performers automatically align with GOP candidates even when they're not even republicans or conservative, let alone a phony like trump. I'd like to think they have more common sense than that. But put an R next to your name and you're in.
Meat Loaf would do anything for love, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't do that.
