Kid Rock to lead 'Rock N Roll Revival' in 2008
Detroit rap-rocker Kid Rock has rolled out the itinerary for an early 2008 tour that will support his recently released chart-topping album, "Rock N Roll Jesus."
Rock, who earlier this fall mounted a brief tour in conjunction with his album's October release, is due to launch his outing--dubbed the "Rock N Roll Revival Tour"--Jan. 25 in Evansville, IN, and dates are stacked up in almost 30 cities through late March. Details are included below.
Tickets for the trek go on sale Saturday (12/8), according to a press release from Atlantic Records, which also said that the upcoming arena tour will feature "a host of friends," including Reverend Run from iconic rap act Run DMC.
Released Oct. 9, "Rock N Roll Jesus" sold about 170,000 copies during its first week in stores, which earned the set a No. 1 debut on The Billboard 200 chart. Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls) co-produced the album with the rap-rocker, which features Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker band and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
"So Hott," the lead single from "Rock N Roll Jesus," is streaming at Rock's MySpace page, as is the music video for the song.
According to his MySpace blog, Rock shot the video for the follow-up single, "Amen," last month in Los Angeles with directory Jonas Akerlund.
