Friday night was filled to the top with fans that packed the large open arena at Moondance Jam in Walker, Minnesota. Kid Rock finished the evening as the headliner that was energized from the moment he stepped on stage to his final encore. There is no doubt the continued sustained success of Kid Rock shows when he starts hitting out with his rapping and his overall unique spin to the music culture. Kid Rock tour “Greatest Show On Earth Tour 2018” is covering the country far and wide in conjunction with his new album Sweet Southern Sugar.
