## Resource

Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, is shredding into heavy metal with his new band The uckers, debuting at Riot Fest with a full lineup and a wild tour rider—including a “Shatner’s Shag Shack” dressing room, Polish sausage, a John Stamos sweater, and eight pallets of Faygo. Reimagining his 15-album legacy and dropping new tracks from “What the F is Heavy Metal,” this is Shatner’s most unexpected musical evolution yet—complete with festival fun, nostalgic nods, and a whole lot of metal mayhem.
