Rock the Blue 2026

BBQ • BOURBON • BLUES
A Community Fundraiser Supporting First Responders
Mark your calendars: The second annual Rock the Blue returns Saturday, June 6!
Rock the Blue 2026 brings together great food, curated bourbon, and live blues music in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, all in support of first responders.
This year’s goal is to cover BackStoppers dues for every Belleville Police Officer, relieving them of that personal expense. Additional funds will be donated to BackStoppers to support first responders and their families where it’s needed most.
In 2025, the event raised over $20,000 following the Fairview Heights tragedy, supporting injured officers and their families – reinforcing the purpose behind this growing community event.
More than a fundraiser, Rock the Blue is a visible show of appreciation, strengthening the bond between the community and public safety.
New this year: The event expands to two blocks on East Main Street, featuring food trucks, live music, and more space for the community to come together, allowing for greater impact than ever.

Desperados & Dreamers - a Linda Ronstadt tribute
2026-05-02 19:30 - 22:00 | The Lincoln Theatre, 103 E Main Street, Belleville, IL, 62220, United States
Desperados and Dreamers is a Tribute show to an era when some of
the greatest music of all time was created and performed!
The show begins with a salute to the boys from Jacksonville where the
band performs the hits from the legendary “Fathers of Southern Rock”
Lynyrd Skynyrd. Singer/Songwriter & Producer Sam Morgan fronts
this effort and does a fantastic job recreating the magic that was
Lynyrd Skynyrd. While in most cases this would be a show in itself,
this is just the warm up to the feature!
Belleville singer/songwriter Vannah Leigh pays homage to the “Queen
of Country-Rock”, Linda Ronstadt, in a 2 hour plus set that will leave
you captivated. Leigh, a rising star in her own right, fully embodies the
look, persona, and voice of Ronstadt. The show includes a full set of
seamlessly blended country, folk, rock, pop, Mexican rancheras, and
Great American Songbook standards. Ronstadt, a Rock n Roll Hall of
Fame member, is known for her ability to cover a song and turn it to
gold!
Backed by a hand selected band of some of the best musicians in the
area this show leaves no stone unturned in delivering what you expect
when you view a performance of this magnitude! Take this trip back in
time and relive the memories by listening to some of the most timeless
music ever created, or for the younger crowd just see how cool your
parents and grandparents really are!!
