Nothing could trump the surprise of The Replacements reuniting for the festival, but adding The Pixies, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Suicidal Tendencies, Andrew W.K., Hatebreed, T.S.O.L., Off With Their Heads, The Flatliners, Nativ, Hostage Calm, The Interrupters, New Beat Fund and Pet Symmetry is no letdown. Of course with the good news comes the bad news, and Riot Fest also announced that due to unforeseen circumstances, Motörhead, Bad Brains and Attack Attack! have had to cancel their appearances. That's O.K., we'll take Joan Jett over Lemmy any day.
Riot Fest three day passes are still on sale, but they're just about sold out, so if The Replacements weren't enough t get you to buy a ticket maybe these new bands will be.
Riot Fest is September 13-15 in Humboldt Park
