Riot Fest has unveiled their first, huge list of artists set to appear at this year’s music festival the weekend of September 14-16, 2018 in Chicago’s Douglas Park.
Who is headlining?
Blink-182, Beck and a third to be revealed during the second wave lineup announcement, coming in a few weeks.
Who else will be there?
Uhhhh, well they’re really going eclectic this year. They’ve even got Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Costello, Atmosphere, Young the Giant, Incubus, Blondie, Interpol, and the return of Russian rabble-rousers Pussy Riot (“performing a few years after hosting a truly gripping panel on music and protest with Henry Rollins at Riot Fest 2014”). Woah.
The full lineup is really impressive, check it out below.
