Tickets are on sale now. More musical acts are still to be announced.
The Taste of Joliet will return to Memorial Stadium June 27-29, and the Joliet Park District has already started to announce musical acts.
This year's Saturday night lineup is country themed, featuring headliner Thompson Square, a husband and wife duo.
Also performing June 28 are Dan + Shay, recently nominated for an American Country Music Award. The band has a new album due out April 1.
Solo artist Brett Eldredge, an Illinois native whose single, "Don't Ya" hit number one on the Country Airplay chart last year, will also take the stage on June 28.
Texan Eric Paslay rounds out the country night lineup.
