After years of persistent letter writing from Riot Fest, entertainment icon William Shatner is heading to Riot Fest and he’s bringing the debut of his brand-new heavy metal band, The *uckers, to Douglass Park on Sunday, September 20.

Known for always expecting the unexpected, Shatner will take the stage with an all-star band featuring Marcus Nand, Phil Soussan, Britt Lightning, and Fred Aching to perform reimagined songs from his musical catalog and preview tracks from his upcoming heavy metal album.

Hey Chicago, we just received a personal video message from Mr. William Shatner. His rider… is a lot. But we’re committed to showing him what he means to us and we’re going to need your help. We don’t want years of letter-writing to go to waste. Anybody willing to lend a hand?

1-Day, 2-Day, and 3-Day tickets are on sale now!
