The Riverbend Festival lineup is coming together with the announcement that REO Speedwagon, Shovels & Rope, Ambrosia and Firefall have been added to the schedule.

One of classic rock radio’s staples for decades, REO Speedwagon will headline the Coke Stage on Friday, June 17. In the earlier slot on the stage, Shovels & Rope – husband and wife duo Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent – will bring their blend of country, rock and folk.

Ambrosia will perform Saturday, June 11, on the Unum Stage. In the ’70s and early ’80s, the band introduced its brand of soft rock with Top 10 hits “How Much I Feel” and “Biggest Part of Me” and others like “You’re the Only Woman (You & I)” and “Holdin’ on to Yesterday.”

Firefall will play the Bud Light Stage on Sunday, June 12., and is best known for the Top 10 hit “You Are the Woman” and “Just Remember I Love You,” which reached No. 11 on the charts.

Riverbend will take place June 10-18 along the 21st Century Waterfront.
