Kid Rock To Wrap-up Summer Tour With Two Shows In Washington

Robert Ritchie, a.k.a. "Kid Rock", is certainly belying his last name. The Detroit-bred rocker is trying to save fans and concert-goers alike a bunch of money with the announcement of the return of the "$20 Best Night Ever" summer concert tour.

The 36-date, 31-city summer tour was announced today and fans in the Pacific Northwest will get to help put the wraps on the tour with the final two shows scheduled for September 4th and 5th in Ridgefield and Auburn, WA at Amphitheater Northwest and the White River Amphitheater, respectively.

Rock will be joined by his Twisted Brown Trucker Band along with classic rockers Foreigner opening the shows.

Tickets for the tour, will be handled with every effort made to keep fees down and scalpers at bay. Tickets from the 2nd row to the lawn will be $20, with reduced parking and service fees keeping the total ticket price at about $30 or under. $20 all-in tickets (including parking) will be offered from participating Walmarts and at the venue box offices, and everyone who purchases a ticket at Walmart will receive a coupon for $2 off their purchase of “First Kiss.”
1000 tickets from each show will be put on sale via LiveNation.com’s Platinum ticketing program to combat scalping. The first row of seats for every show will be held back and given as free upgrades for lucky fans, and $20 special food packages will be available during the shows. There will be $4 draught beers and special $20 tour t-shirts.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, February 24 at 10:00 a.m. at LiveNation.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, or charge by phone 1-800-745-3000.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale the day “First Kiss” is released, February 24th, on www.LiveNation.com. Fan Club members will be able to purchase tickets beginning February 19th, and fans who pre-order the album through www.KidRock.com will be eligible for a special pre-sale beginning on February 20th.

Kid Rock is deep into the shitshow that comes with releasing a new record. On Sunday, February 22nd, Kid Rock will be performing a massive show before the start of the Daytona 500 where “First Kiss” will be debuted live for the first time. Following that, he’ll be appearing on the Tonight Show on February 23rd, the Today Show on February 24th, talking with Howard Stern on February 25th.
