Ribfest 2022 brings Craig Morgan, Little Texas, and plenty more to Mankato

The Vetter Stone Amphitheater is pleased to welcome the multiplatinum selling, chart-topping American rock band Warrant to wrap up RibFest’s 80s Night. WARRANT has been headlining festivals, casinos and fairs all over the country in support of their latest CD Louder Harder Faster and the 30 year anniversary of their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich.
