Headliner change announced for local Ribs-N-Rock Festival
Fuel will replace headliner Scott Stapp, who is unable to perform due to a scheduling conflict, the event announced on its Facebook page on Monday afternoon. Stapp is the lead singer of the band Creed.
Fuel is a rock band known for such hits as 'Hemorrhage (In My Hands),' 'Shimmer' and 'Falls on Me.' The band got its start in 1993 in Harrisburg, Pa., and returned more recently to tour with longtime lead guitarist Carl Bell and drummer Kevin Bell, as well as Aaron Scott [lead vocals, guitar] from The Voice, Mark Klotz [guitar, vocals], and Tommy Nat [bass, vocals].
Fuel performs on June 21.
'We're grateful for Scott's support of Ribs-N-Rock in the past and look forward to having him return in the future,' read the post on the festival's page.
Also performing during the week are local country music artist Chris Higbee (performing on June 19) and area-favorite The Clarks, which will headline on June 20.
This year's festival returns to the DeBartolo Commons at the Southern Park Mall.
Gates open each day at noon, and admission is free until 3 p.m. Anyone entering the festival after 3 p.m. will pay a $10 admission cover on Friday and Saturday, or a $7 admission on Thursday.

The White House now has a TikTok account
The White House has joined TikTok, the social media app that President Trump wanted to ban during his first term. Its first post shows clips of Trump in various events with Kendrick Lamar's track playing in the background. The New York Times notes that it references a popular video edit of Creed, a boxing movie starring Michael B. Jordan, on the app. In the TikTok post, Trump could be heard saying "I am your voice," while the caption reads "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" Trump's administration believes TikTok helped him win over young voters in the 2024 Presidential election, with the account he used to campaign having over 15 million followers. "President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. The president wasn't always fond of the platform. He once vowed to ban the app in the US and signed an executive order to outlaw any transaction between the app and its China-based parent company ByteDance for national security reasons. TikTok's "data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage," the executive order read. After taking office earlier this year, however, Trump quickly put a pause on the law that was supposed to ban TikTok in the US. He even delayed the ban a couple more times to give ByteDance more time to sell its US business. Trump previously claimed that a "very wealthy" group is poised to buy TikTok, but the administration has yet to reveal the identities of the people in it.

Creed Hits A Milestone For The First Time With A Decades-Old Album
Creed is almost 15 years removed from its last album Full Circle, which arrived in 2009. Since then, the band has gone on hiatus so the members could pursue other projects and then reformed. In recent years, the rock group has been picking up steam on streaming platforms as millions of Americans continue to press play on some of the band's most famous tracks. Those songs are collected on one compilation — the simply-titled Greatest Hits. Like so many other acts, that hits-laden set keeps Creed on the Billboard charts, and this week it helps the Grammy winners reach a milestone they've never seen before. Greatest Hits Reaches Three Years on Billboard 200 Greatest Hits celebrates three full years on the Billboard 200. The compilation reaches 156 frames on the ranking of the most consumed albums in the country as it dips from No. 81 to No. 85. Sales and Streaming Keep Greatest Hits Moving Units More than 20 years after it was released, Greatest Hits is still moving five-digit sums every week in America. In the past tracking period, Luminate reports that the project shifted 12,800 equivalent units. About 1,500 of those were pure purchases, and plays of the many smashes featured on the tracklist — including "Higher," "With Arms Wide Open," "One Last Breath," and "My Sacrifice" — keep the title going on various Billboard tallies. Strong Performance on Multiple Rock Charts As Greatest Hits makes it to a special milestone on the Billboard 200, the project can also be found on four other albums rankings. Greatest Hits declines on the Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, settling at Nos. 6, 19, and 22, respectively. At the same time, it holds steady at No. 9 on the Top Alternative Albums list. Creed's Longest-Charting Album Creed has sent five projects to the Billboard 200 throughout the years, and three of them have managed to hold on for at least 100 weeks. Greatest Hits is easily the group's longest-charting success, while My Own Prison racked up 112 stays and Human Clay pushed just past two years with 105 frames somewhere on the roster. The Appeal of Early-2000s Rock Classics Originally released in November 2004, Greatest Hits arrived just after Creed disbanded for the first time. It compiled a run of chart-topping rock smashes that defined early-2000s radio and sold millions before streaming even existed. Two decades later, the same songs continue to draw healthy listening figures week after week, making the set one of the rare rock compilations from its era to maintain a consistent presence on the Billboard 200.

I went to see the world's most hated bands party like it's 1999
EAST TROY, Wis. — In the spirit of full disclosure: I was once a Creed fan. I strummed and sang along to songs from 'My Own Prison' and 'Human Clay' but never quite mastered the tougher licks. So more than a quarter-century later — a few lifetimes removed from a teenage youth full of JNCO jeans and burned CDs — I traveled to an amphitheater outside Milwaukee to see if there's any joy to be drawn from nostalgia, or if this school of rock has simply curdled like Wisconsin dairy products in the summer sun.
