95-Year-Old William Shatner Is Playing Riot Fest With His Metal Band
95-year-old William Shatner aka Captain Kirk aka Priceline.com dude is taking the stage at Chicago’s Riot Fest on September 20th with his heavy metal band, The *uckers. It marks the group’s first-ever live performance.
Riot Fest followed up the announcement by sharing Shatner’s outrageous rider, which included a request to “rename a boat” in his honor so he “can captain a ship again,” “Fire breathers. Many of them,” a “classic Chicago food item” to be named after him, and that his golf cart should be “replaced by a DeLorean.”
Other cheeky demands included “four feet of Polish sausage,” a single pair of white tube socks and a pair of white underwear, and for his dressing room to be themed “Shatner’s Shag Shack.” He said “I hope that you’re there and I hope I’m there.” Did NOT have this on our 2026 Bingo card but we’re here for it!
