TED NUGENT To Headline Illinois' RIBFEST

April 11, 2008

According to DailyHerald.com, legendary rocker Ted Nugent will headline the main stage of this year's Ribfest on July 3 in Naperville, Illinois. Nugent previously performed at the 2005 edition of the event.

"He's a proven draw," said Ribfest Chairman Don Emery. "He did well for us last time and with the combination of that and that he's opening, we expect it to be a huge day."

Nugent is known for his wild stage antics, conservative political views and pro-hunting stance. Organizers from the Naperville Exchange Club said the show will be for "all ages" just like it was in 2005, though some at that show felt Nugent might have been a little much for youngsters.

"We're all getting older," Emery said, "and I think we all tend to mellow a little bit."
