Riot Fest announces first wave of acts (Blink-182, Incubus, Elvis Costello, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more)

Riot Fest has just unveiled a huge list of bands playing the 2018 edition of the Chicago festival. Set for September 14-16 at Chicago’s Douglas Park, the lineup includes Blink-182, Elvis Costello, Incubus, Jerry Lee Lewis (!), Young the Giant, Interpol, Father John Misty, and many, many more.



While there is no crazy punk rock reunion announced yet (following The Replacements, Misfits and Jawbreaker in recent years), it’s an eclectic lineup that should nonetheless make for a great weekend. Check out the full first wave announcement below. For tickets and information visit the official Riot Fest site.
