For the 14th year, Rock Ribs and Ridges returns to the Sussex County Fairgrounds from June 28 until June 30. The festival features some of the best barbeque you can find in the US and the best and biggest names in Southern Rock. With five pitmasters and 11 bands spread across the three days of the festival, this year is sure to knock your barbeque loving socks off!

You’ll have the opportunity to try barbeque from Cowboys BBQ from Ft. Worth, TX, Chicago BBQ from Burr Ridge, IL, Ribbins BBQ from Chambersburg, PA, and Off The Bone BBQ from Canal Wi******er, OH, while the VIP patrons also get access to the fifth pitmaster in Buck Em BBQ from Ft. Worth, TX.

Headlining Friday this year is the New Jersey legend himself, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Formed in 1976, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes has had their fair share of hits, including the signature “I Don’t Want To Go Home”. The band has a very close connection to Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, even having Steven Van Zandt as a co-leader and sharing members like Clarence Clemons and Max Weinberg. The band’s list of former members, touring or official, is a who’s-who of local and international talent, including Jon Bon Jovi, Bobby Bandiera, and richie “La Bamba” Rosenberg.

Also performing Friday will be Sugar Mountain. The rest of the weekend is headlined by Blackberry Smoke and Molly Hatchet on Saturday and Larkin Poe on Sunday.
