Kalamazoo Ribfest

12/14/2023

This was not an easy decision to make, but we hope to be back in the future with the best attendee experience we can have.

Townsquare Media Hopes the event can return, but will use 2024 to reevaluate Ribfest to hopefully bring it back even bigger and better.

Thank you to everyone who rocked out with us and Pop Evil

They came out and open the show up with a track off their new album Skeletons, Paranoid (Crash and Burn), and although their new album was the focus, they actually played songs from six of their seven albums.

IMPORTANT! Every year we have a lot of people in the comment section of our post saying they are desperate to resell their tickets. Not saying all of them are, but there are a lot of online bot scams that will take your money. We cannot be held responsible for tickets or losses purchased by any means than off kalamazooribfest.com.

A cold drink and BBQ is a match made in heaven. Check out our thirst-quenching selection of drinks from this year's drink menu! Cheers! 🍻

Last year we unfortunately had to turn away people at the gate because we sold out night #2 and we also nearly sold out night 1. We do not want to turn anyone away so we’re urging everyone to get their GA tickets BEFORE the day of the event. VIP is sold out and our ticket sales are trending 40% more this year prior to the event than last year. If you’ve got friends or family coming from out of town tell them to get their tickets now! Two more weeks!🍗🍖🐷🎸🎤
