Riot Fest 2013 Lineup Announced
With much fanfare and long waits for many pleading fans on Facebook and Twitter, Riot Fest announced their 2013 lineup just now. The festival, held for the second year in Humboldt Park, is three days (September 13-15) of both new and old punk and hard rock favorites, with the addition this year of some notable hip-hop acts. The festival has added serious ammo this year with an impressive lineup that rivals many of the other major festivals coming through Chicago this summer. Some personal favorites just at a glance includes Blondie, Violent Femmes, Taking Back Sunday, Against Me!, Bad Brains, Stars, Dessa, Saul Williams, and many more. The festival is also going to be three full days in the park instead of two, and will include the same carnival theme as last year.
Three day passes are now on sale for $69.98, and three-day VIP passes (which include 15 drink tickets, not a bad deal at all) are $175. UPDATE: Early-bird tickets are sold out; passes are now $99.98 and increasing as more tickets are sold -- so get in there soon. You can purchase tickets here.
