Welcome to Last Nights at Knoch - Naperville's Ribfest 2019, our 32nd year! Gates open at 12pm July 3rd for the absolute best midwestern 4th of July outdoor concert series. Billy Idol is an early architect of the sound, style, and fury of punk rock. His lip- curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV’s first megastars, making him one of the most recognizable faces in pop music, while selling out arenas everywhere he played. He has sold 40 million albums while scoring numerous platinum albums worldwide, nine top forty singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including “Dancing With Myself, “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” “Mony Mony,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” and “Cradle Of Love.”

This year’s lineup for Ribfest 2019 on the Navistar Main Stage includes Billy Idol - Living Colour July 3rd, Flo Rida with fireworks by Meijer July 4th, and Brantley Gilbert July 5th.  The July 6th headliner will be announced soon.  Tickets are available at ribfest.net. This year’s grand sponsors include ABC7 Chicago, Navistar, Meijer, Naperville Bank & Trust, a Wintrust Community Bank, Jewel- Osco, Nathan’s Famous Beef Franks, Pella, Gnarly Head, Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Group, Guaranteed Rate, Truly Spiked & Sparkling, Great Lakes Coca-Cola, Miller Lite, Euclid Beverage, D&J Amusements, Jeep, RAM, 95.9 The River and Groot Industries.

FAQs

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Here's the deal. It's a great deal. Think of it as FREE customized transport to Ribfest. In June, check ribfest.net for the 2019 free parking & free shuttle information. TL/DR: Not a lot of close-in parking.

What can I bring into the event?

Yourself. If you're general admission, bring a chair and blanket. Bring a hat, sunscreen and one 1-liter bottle of water per guest. We LOVE babies. Strollers, wagons and baby food are just dandy. No coolers, outside food or beverage (except as noted above). Leave Fido at home. No weapons or fireworks. No zombies.
