Ribfest crowds will do a little dance to KC and The Sunshine Band

When KC and The Sunshine Band plays Ribfest on the Fourth of July, Naperville crowds will shake, shake, shake ... well, you know the rest.

Organizers of the last Ribfest in Knoch Park — the four-day summer tradition is likely moving to Romeoville in 2020 — announced Friday that KC and The Sunshine Band will open for headliner Flo Rida. The “Club Can't Handle Me” rapper and the Grammy-award winning disco and funk group with a string of hits in the 1970s will make for an odd couple pairing and Ribfest's main attraction on July 4.

Fireworks will close the evening on day two of Ribfest's “Last Nights at Knoch.”

“Every time we talked about the possibility of KC and The Sunshine Band, the vibe in the room got happy and everybody started moving and singing, albeit badly, a favorite KC and The Sunshine Band song,” Ribfest co-chairman Pete Paulsen said in a statement. “That's when you know you have a winner. Their catalog of music is impressively long and fun.”

Their catalog includes “Shake Your Booty,” “Get Down Tonight,” and “Boogie Shoes.”

Concert tickets are available at Ribfest.net.

Exchange Club of Naperville runs Ribfest to raise funds for charities that work to end child abuse and domestic violence. The festival has donated more than $17.5 million toward those causes over more than three decades.

Also set to perform this year are British punk rock pioneer Billy Idol on Wednesday, July 3, and country singer-songwriter Brantley Gilbert and Naperville native Joe Hanson on Friday, July 5. The Exchange Club has not yet named a headliner for the fest's final night on Saturday, July 6.
