Halestorm is going to be a headliner at Ribfest.
The Grammy Award-winning heavy metal band will play on Saturday, June 18, at the DuPage Event Center and Fairgrounds in Wheaton. The Exchange Club of Naperville and its signature summer food and music festival is back after a two-year pandemic-caused hiatus.
“One of the best metal rock bands anywhere will be on our new stage in our new location,” 2022 Ribfest chair Bev Schafman said in a statement. “If you like to rock loud and hard, this is going to be a great day for you to come out to Ribfest.”
As with previous Ribfests, concerts will require tickets while the general entry to the festival will be free. Tickets are already on sale for the previously announced country star Brett Eldredge, who will be a Ribfest headliner on Sunday, June 19.
The Exchange Club of Naperville stages Ribfest as its major fundraiser to help fight child abuse and domestic violence.
Tickets for Halestorm go on sale Wednesday, April 27, at ribfest.net.
