The 2019 Riot Fest lineup is here… and of course, it sucks! There are some big names here as you would expect, with Blink-182 making up for last year’s missed appearance, Slayer playing their final Chicago show, Bikini Kill, The Raconteurs, and Rise Against.
The 15th anniversary lineup also includes The Flaming Lips, Bloc Party, Ween, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Jawbreaker, Die Antwoord, Patti Smith, The B-52s, The Struts, Anthrax, and (THE) Village People. I’m digging the overall variety here, but I must say that the strong Hip Hop presence we had become accustomed to on recent past lineups is sorely missing here. Other than that, I’m digging what I’m seeing.
With this many dope names on a single bill, I can already tell you to expect this year’s scheduling conflicts to give you anxiety.
Check out the full lineup in the poster above or listed below with additional info.
