Bret Michaels, Vince Neil To Play Taste Of Joliet 2020

JOLIET, IL — Bret Michaels, the lead singer of Poison, and Vince Neil, lead singer from Motley Crue, will be the two headlining acts at Taste of Joliet on Friday night, June 26, the Joliet Park District announced Wednesday morning.

Joliet Park District Director Brad Staab made the announcement around 8 a.m. and "the response has been great so far. We think this is going to be a really strong lineup."

In 2010, the park district had Michaels in Joliet for a fall concert, which the park district has stopped doing because of the unpredictability with the fall weather, Staab said. If the weather's perfect on June 26, Staab said Taste of Joliet will probably draw 27,000 people to see Michaels and Neil for the Friday night rock concert.

Michaels will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. He's had 45 million albums sold and several top songs: "Talk Dirty To Me," "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," "Nothing But A Good Time," "I Won't Forget You," "Unskinny Bop," "Something To Believe In" and "Rock and Roll All Night."

After Michaels revs up Joliet's Memorial Stadium crowd on West Jefferson Street, Vince Neil will take the stage at 9:15 p.m.

Neil's had 100 million albums sold and 22 Top 40 songs, park district officials noted. Some of Neil's hits include: "Home Sweet Home," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Wild Side," Dr. Feelgood," "Kickstart My Heart," "Same Ol' Situation" and "Smokin' in the Boys Room."

Tickets for Neil and Michaels will be $56 for the front section, $15 for general admission if you buy your tickets online or $17 on the day of the concert, $5 for senior citizens, and kids 11 and younger are free all weekend at the Taste of Joliet.
