Riot Fest announced this year's daily lineups back in June, but as of today we have the full picture, complete with times and stages for all three days. The annual weekend-long festival of punk and punk-adjacent rock and hip-hop released the time schedule on Tuesday, along with a Custom Schedule tool to help festival-goers navigate their weekend. The (somewhat controversial) festival takes place Friday, Sept. 16 through Sunday, Sept. 18 in Douglas Park.
As always with these things, there’s a fair amount of paradox-of-choice scheduling conflicts ahead: Dan Deacon vs. Touche Amore on Friday; Morrissey vs. Nas on Saturday; and Death Grips vs. Sleater-Kinney vs. Rob Zombie (performing White Zombie’s Astro-Creep 2000) on Sunday. Wisely, The festival-closing Original Misfits face no such counter-programming.
Check out the previously announced daily lineup below and head over to the time schedule to make sense of it all.
