Riot Fest Releases Second Lineup Announcement

Thursday June 18, 2009

In what’s shaping up to be one of the most impressive punk fests this year, Riot Fest Chicago made its second lineup announcement yesterday. Joining the already impressive lineup that includes the Dead Milkmen, NOFX and Cock Sparrer, is a mind-blowingly amazing roster of old and new acts, including Naked Raygun, the Butthole Surfers, Riverboat Gamblers, Youth Brigade and Flatfoot 56.

Additionally, it’s also been announced that the Dead Milkmen will be playing at two nights of the fest.

We’re currently in the process of making arrangements for our punk rock pilgrimage to Chicago to cover this legendary lineup, and if you have the opportunity, I highly suggest you consider getting there as well.

Riot Fest Chicago takes place from October 7-12 (with an L.A. component to be announced soon), and single and five-day passes are available now, as well as the complete lineup thus far, on the Riot Fest Web site.
