Ron,,,, we're going to come over to Rib Fest on May 27 to see NR & PB can you give me some tips about when to get set up at the stage, etc??

We're going to catch the Metro Link in Belleville

Is Ribfest @ early evening an ok place for the kids (we are going to hang onto them like Superglue of course)

Wanna meet up someplace? Would love to see you again......

Thanks for any and all info !!

Ribfest is at the Soldiers Memorial, just east of Union Station. It is totally safe and secure. They have plenty of security and police there.

Find out what time the shows start, and arrive about 30 minutes prior. Its general admission, no seats, so bring a lawn chair if you dont want to stand. BUT, if you do stand, its pretty easy to get good sight lines.


I am unsure if I am going this year, although the lineup looks GREAT for the fans of 80s music.
