Kid Rock is putting Detroit on blast.
The star’s “Born Free” tour will hit Comerica Park in Detroit on Friday and Saturday. Sammy Hagar and The Wabos will join the rocker both nights, according to kidrock.com, where tickets are almost sold out.
“Born Free” was Rock’s eighth studio album.
“The catalyst for this record was Detroit, and my thoughts on the world through the lens of Detroit,” Rock says on his website. “Watching everything go downhill over the past few years, the economy, the loss of jobs everywhere, I wanted to make a record that reflected the times but that still had soul.”
