Kid Rock has changed the name of his “Greatest Show on Earth” tour to the American Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour 2018 after he was slapped with a lawsuit by the company that owns the Ringling Circus. The company, named Feld Entertainment, filed the suit claiming that the iconic slogan is too important to their business for Rock to continue using it. “This historic trademark has been an important part of Ringling Bros. for the past century, and it is recognized as a trusted and iconic brand of family-friendly entertainment,” says Feld Entertainment Group chairman / CEO Kenneth Feld. “The Greatest Show on Earth continues to live on and will do so well into the future. We have no intention of surrendering the trademark or allowing it to be tarnished.” “We have authorized licensees for Ringling Bros. and The Greatest Show On Earth, but Kid Rock is not one of them,” said Lisa Joiner, General Counsel of Feld Entertainment. “Feld Entertainment was not contacted by Kid Rock (or anybody else on his behalf) regarding his use of Feld Entertainment’s trademark The Greatest Show On Earth.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com.
