The musician had to change the name of his tour
Kid Rock was forced to change the name of his upcoming tour after being sued by a circus.
Feld Entertainment, owners of two large circuses, filed a lawsuit in December after Kid Rock titled his tour " The Greatest Show On Earth Tour ," a trademark of Feld.
Now, Rock has changed the name to The American Rock N Roll Tour . His tour had already changed its name before when the musician initially called it Sweet Southern Sugar , the name of his latest album.
In a statement to the court, Kid Rock said: “Although I believe that, under the First Amendment, I have the right to use the name of my song on my tour, I changed the name because I don’t want this lawsuit to distract me or my fans from what’s important on my tour – my music.”
In a rebuttal filed last Friday, the 12th, the company stated that Kid Rock is still infringing copyright law by selling merchandise using the phrase "The Greatest Show On Earth Tour".
Feld hopes the musician will pay a fine and stop using the phrase. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday the 16th to discuss the case.
