Only God Knows Why Kid Rock won’t be playing on the Halifax Common this summer.
Promoter Harold MacKay announced late Wednesday the cancellation of the July 23 date of Halifax Rocks. Kid Rock, Counting Crows and Daughtry were among the headliners slated to perform.
Halifax’s Jimmy Swift Band and the Stanfields were also scheduled.
“We truly regret that fans of these artists will not get to see them this year,” MacKay said in a release. “We apologize for the disruption and inconvenience this may cause.”
A phone call and email to MacKay on Thursday weren’t returned.
“I have nothing to add,” he told CBC.
MacKay didn’t give a reason for the cancellation.
Wednesday was the last day to purchase early bird tickets for the show.
The lineup for the show was met with some criticism throughout Halifax’s music scene, on Internet comment boards and blog posts.
MacKay says that fans have the option of using their Kid Rock tickets to get into the July 24 Black Eyed Peas show, or to refund their tickets through the Ticket Atlantic Box Office.
