Ludacris is no longer part of the lineup for Rock the Country, according to a statement from the rapper’s representative.
The rep clarified that Ludacris’ appearance on the festival lineup was the result of a “mix-up,” explaining that “lines got crossed and he wasn’t supposed to be on there.” No further details were provided, but the statement confirms that the Grammy-winning rapper was never officially scheduled to perform.
The unexpected update quickly caught attention online, especially given Ludacris’ crossover appeal and history of performing at large-scale festivals. As of now, Rock the Country organizers have not issued an additional statement addressing the situation.
While fans may be disappointed, it appears the situation was simply a logistical error rather than a last-minute cancellation—putting an end to speculation surrounding Ludacris’ involvement.
