William Shatner’s Outrageous Demands for Riot Fest 2026

Riot Fest is gearing up for an unforgettable finale this year as the legendary William Shatner prepares to take the stage with his metal band, The *uckers, on September 20 in Chicago’s Douglass Park. Ahead of this highly anticipated performance, the festival has revealed a wild list of Shatner’s so-called ‘demands’ that are sure to raise eyebrows.

Among the quirky requests, Shatner has asked for the city of Chicago to name a boat in his honor, a billboard featuring himself and a fan, and even a chance to do the weather report with renowned meteorologist Tom Skilling. He also wants to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ at a local baseball game!

But that’s not all—Shatner’s rider for the festival includes some truly outrageous requests for his performance day. He’s asking for fire breathers on stage, a video intro by GWAR, and a DeLorean to replace his artist golf cart. And let’s not forget the eight pallets of Faygo, which he insists must not be shared with fellow performers Insane Clown Posse.

This marks Shatner’s first public performance with The *uckers, and with a lineup that also features Pierce the Veil, Alanis Morissette, and Elvis Costello, it’s shaping up to be a Riot Fest for the ages. General admission tickets are available now at RiotFest.org.
