Rolling Loud just lost its biggest headliner ever. What does this mean for the festival?

Then she saw the news that the self-described “Shakespeare in the flesh” had pulled out five days before his July 22 performance.

“He’s the reason why a lot of people got tickets this year,” Powell said. “I already plan on leaving early that day. It’s that disappointing.”
