Update: Danzig is re-joining the Misfits for Riot Fest
Riot Fest is set to reveal the lineups for their Denver (September 2-4) and Chicago (September 16-18) editions tomorrow morning (RIP Toronto Riot Fest), and have just posted a mysterious Misfits-related video in conjunction with that announcement. Watch it below.
The static-filled screen eventually briefly flashes the Misfits logo, which could mean a couple of things:
- The regular Jerry Only-led Misfits are playing the classic Misfits LP Static Age in its entirety, which would be laughably uneventful, or
- DANZIG is rejoining the Misfits for these two Riot Fest shows!
As far-fetched as the latter might seem, don’t forget that Riot Fest somehow finagled The Replacements to get back together in 2013, a feat even the mighty Coachella couldn’t tackle. The festival also has a working relationship with Danzig, with his post-Misfits project Samhain performing at last year’s edition.
We’ll find out more at 10:00 am Thursday morning. Update: This is now confirmed! Check out the flyer below. Be sure to check out our recent interview with Danzig here.
