The entire cast of the hit television show on the Tru-TV Network will be on-site for the festivities. Characters including Full Throttle Saloon owner Michael Ballard, his wife Angie and her Rock Star Dancers, Jesse James Dupree, Goat, and others will be featured in the events scheduled. ThrottleFest also presents many of the attractions from the legendary club’s Sturgis location including the Wall of Death, the Burn Out Pit, the mechanical bull, Pro Blitz Wrestling, and more alongside a massive gathering of vendors congregating in the Kansas City area with motorcycle accessories and other items of interest. The Full Throttle Saloon will be erected in Berkley Riverfront Park, bringing the legendary Sturgis environment to life for Throttlefest.
Throttlefest Kansas City is produced by Full Throttle Saloon owner Michael Ballard and Jesse James Dupree. Co- Organizer and Jackyl front man Jesse James Dupree shares, “I cannot think of a more lethal combination than the Full Throttle Saloon’s ThrottleFest event coupled with Johnny Dare’s 20th Anniversary Celebration. Combined together will be nothing less than explosive. What could possibly go wrong?” 98 The Rock’s Johnny Dare adds, “Twenty years in radio is unheard of. Over the years, we’ve made a lot of really great friends and we’re bringing them all to this party. I think it’s safe to say someone’s going to jail. Most likely it’s us.”
