Riot Fest: 10th anniversary
Riot Fest: breakout albums
The Denver edition, the "Riot Fest & Rodeo" will take place first, from Aug. 28 to 30. The first wave of bands includes the majority of the lineup, though two headliners and a handful of other acts remain a mystery. As Stereogum reports, Modest Mouse, Pixies, Snoop Dogg and Iggy Pop lead that lineup, with performances also due from Rancid, Cold War Kids, Tenacious D, L7 and more.
But, of course, that's not all from Riot Fest. The circus will be coming to Chicago's Douglas Park from Sept. 11 to 13. Like Denver, Iggy Pop, Snoop Dogg and Modest Mouse are among the headliners, with No Doubt, Faith No More and a yet-to-be announced mystery performer. Others set to head to Douglas Park include Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Billy Idol, Ice Cube, Merle Haggard, Echo & The Bunnymen, OK Go, Babes in Toyland and three more bands in the next wave of announcements.
The final Riot Fest, the "Exposition" will take over Toronto on Sept. 19 and 20 at the Downsview Park. The smaller lineup stars Alexisonfire, Wu-Tang Clan, Tyler the Creator, Coheed and Cambria, Rancid performing ...And Out Come the Wolves and plenty of mystery guests, including a headlining band playing a pinnacle album.
More bands for this year's Riot Fests will be announced in the coming weeks.
