William Shatner<\/a> may be 95 years old, but age will never stop him from rockin’ on.<\/p>\n Shatner \u2014 yes, Star Trek<\/em> legend William Shatner \u2014 is set to debut his new heavy metal rock band, The *uckers, at Riot Fest<\/a> on Sunday, Sept. 20. The group will perform for the first time at Chicago’s Douglass Park, after the festival finally convinced Shatner to attend. (Reportedly, they’ve been courting him for more than a decade!)<\/p>\n “I am going to be doing a live performance of my new live heavy metal spectacle,” Shatner wrote, in part, on his Instagram<\/a> account Thursday. “This is an event you definitely will be telling your grandchildren about! \ud83d\ude09. I hope to see you there.”<\/p>\n Shatner also, half-jokingly, shared rider requests<\/a> for his appearance, which included requirements like renaming a boat after him, prominently displaying his face on a billboard, setting up a dressing room named “Shatner’s Shag Shack,” and securing a DeLorean for transport.<\/p>\n
