Finally, the wait for this year’s Riot Fest day lineup is over! The festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary with an amazing commemorative program, is my personal favorite festival of the year, and with the lineups set, proper planning can effectively begin immediately. Friday’s lineup will feature such bands as Jane’s Addiction, Slayer, The Offspring, Stiff Little Fingers, GWAR, Radkey, Gogol Bordello, and NoFX. Saturday’s lineup highlights include The Flaming Lips, Wu-Tang Clan, Descendents, Metric, Taking Back Sunday, Streetlight Manifesto, Rx Bandits, Wavves, The Pizza Underground. Sunday’s highlights are The Cure, Weezer, Primus, ShowYouSuck, Laura Stevenson, Andrew WK, Naked Raygun, Blue Meanies, Superchunk, and the Bouncing Souls.
There’s literally something here for everybody to love, especially with all of the ska love on Saturday’s lineup. Riot Fest Chicago 2014 will be taking place September 12th – 14th. Tickets are still on sale, so pick some up in case you haven’t already!
