Country Music star Toby Keith is set to headline DuPage County's 33rd annual Ribfest this summer.
The festival, which features nationally recognized rib vendors and BBQ ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, sauces and more was canceled in 2021 and 2020 due to COVID precautions.
Keith is set to perform on June 17, opening night of the festival. Tickets for that day will go on sale soon, according to the Ribfest website.
Other performers include Halestorm on June 18, and Brett Eldredge on June 19.
