RibFest Will Sizzle This Weekend With Rock-N-Roll; But Where's the Country?

This weekend's RibFest will feature some of the best ribs from around the world, cold beer and plenty of rock-n-roll. In fact, some of the finest 70's and 80's rockers to ever grace the planet will be plugged in at the W.H. Lyon Fairground May 29th - June 1st.

Foghat, Head East, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rick Springfield, Loverboy, April Wine, and more. Yes, I'm fans of them all and have road-tripped countless miles with my cassette tape case.

Awesome. I'm ready. I'm workin' for the weekend. But the exclusive rock only line-up leaves many asking, "Where's the country music?"

We asked fans to give us their opinion on this years RibFest on our Facebook page. Here's a sampling of comments:

Janelle Nagel Holsing - I am sad about it. RibFest has always been a nice FAMILY event with a great mix of performers. RibFest is now a Rock Fest serving ribs.

Lindsey Tilton Roemen - Country. Music AND ribs kinda go together!

Julie Neuharth Jacobs - I love country music but seriously, it's not the only music out there and other types of music have just as much right to be heard as country. A lot of people enjoy the older rock and roll, including myself.

Laura Osterberg - We went every year for the ribs and to see a country music concert. We won't be going this year. Out of all the nights Ribfest is here, why couldn't there be one night with country music?

Dione Steuerwald Gerdes - Agreed no variety! Way bummed.

Jessica Johnson Missing the country. Because of the lineup will not be attending RibFest and I've only ever missed one year before this.
