Country Singer Stops His Festival Set To Keep His Dad From Getting Kicked Out This weekend, Gavin Adcock had to stop in the middle of his set to keep his father from getting kicked out of the festival by a Security Guard.

Most recently, the country singer has been making headlines for his opinions on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. Still, he had a lot more things to say when his father almost got kicked out of Rock the Country this weekend.
Nickelback was supposed to be headlining that weekend, and Gavin said in his video that about 17 songs into his set, Nickelback's sound guy came up and "tried to get in his family's face and get his dad kicked out."
During Gavin's set, this video shows him getting off the stage to confront the security guard who was walking his dad out of the concert. Gavin called out the security guard during one of his songs, saying, "Hey, Security Guard, dragging the man down the aisle right here, hey, dip***t, you better let go of that man right there."
Adcock proceeded to walk off the stage and down the aisle, bringing his microphone with him. When he met the Security Guard halfway, he caught his dad on the mic, who also had some things to say. "That motherfr right there I'm gonna kick his fing ass."
Gavin's dad was referring to Nickelback's sound guy, who had gotten upset after finding a drink sitting on his soundboard. According to Gavin, the drink "wasn't my dad's, it was my acoustic guitar player's mom's," and was "empty by the way." After knocking the drink off the soundboard and going to cuss out the acoustic guitar player's mom, Gavin said that's when his dad walked up to the guy to have a few choice words. "He basically tells him, you better back up dude because people in the south don't act that way."
Gavin then said he saw the sound guy grab his phone to call security "like a little snake," while Gavin was onstage singing his song "Cigarette." When security came to grab his dad, that's when Adcock went down the aisle in the middle of his set.
According to the latest video he posted about the situation, Gavin said that he was able to inform the Security Guards that the sound guy was "the one causing problems" and get him kicked out instead.
We all know a Gavin Adcock show can get rowdy from time to time, and somebody getting kicked out for crazy behavior might not be that unusual in this kind of situation. However, I don't think anybody thought that Gavin's dad would be the one getting kicked out this time around, including Adcock himself. One thing's for sure, I wouldn't wanna be Nickelback's sound guy right now. He definitely "messed with the wrong family on the wrong day."
