Last month, Richie Kotzen (known for his work with Poison, Mr. Big, and Winery Dogs) withdrew from Maid of Stone 2025.
Kotzen’s team stated: “Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the Artist’s control, it is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of Richie Kotzen’s appearance and performance at the upcoming Maid Of Stone festival on July 18th in Maidstone UK. Richie sincerely apologizes for this disappointment and extends his gratitude to the fans for their understanding”.
Replacing Kotzen is Joanne Shaw Taylor and Dirty Honey who will take the stage as co-headliners at Maid of Stone on Friday, July 18th. Joanne Shaw Taylor, originally from Britain but now based in Nashville, is celebrated for her extraordinary guitar prowess and soulful songwriting. Meanwhile, Dirty Honey, hailing from Los Angeles and regarded by many as one of the most exciting bands coming up in rock today. Both artists are set to deliver sets of equal duration during this exciting event.
Organisers have shared a handful of subtle hints regarding a secret artist who will also play on the Friday, but they assure us that it will be one of those unforgettable moments you won’t want to miss.
