Riot Fest Adds At The Drive In, Cap'n Jazz, Best Coast & More To 2017 Lineup
By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 1, 2017 3:00PM
Riot Fest has been building one of the area's festival bills to beat this year, with a seemingly impossible Jawbreaker reunion, along with sets from Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, New Order and Paramore. And now a slew of just-announced new acts show that even on the second wave, Riot Fest isn't done trying to impress.
The heavy hitters joining the bill include At the Drive-In, to shred eardrums for a mile around, Chicago indie-emo pioneers Cap'n Jazz, making their first local public appearance since 2010, and fuzz-poppers Best Coast.
Other new additions announced are Black Pistol Fire, The Casualties, Mad Caddies, Cockney Rejects, Radar State, RVIVR, Versus, Seaway, Like Pacific, Grayscale, Warm Brew, Culture Abuse, Potty Mouth, Skating Polly, Upset, Gin Rummy, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black and Kembra Pfahler.
Riot Fest lands in Douglas Park from Sept. 15 - 17, and tickets are still available.
