On the heels of last week’s Original Misfits reunion announcement, Riot Fest has unveiled the first wave of 2016 artists for Riot Fest & Rodeo (Sept. 2-4, Denver, CO) and Riot Fest & Carnival (Sept, 16-18, Chicago, IL).

Known for its diverse booking, Riot Fest has continued their tradition of being left of the dial and programming both festivals in a fashion that defies the homogeneity seen between many festivals. In addition to the music programming, the festival often has quirky, original attractions. Over the years Riot Fest has had Lucha Libre (Mexican Wrestling), Freak Shows, a Butter Sculpturist, and a snowball fight, as well as staging a full carnival with games and rides.

Some of the highlights in each market include:

Riot Fest & Rodeo (Denver): The Original Misfits, Ween, Death Cab For Cutie, Jane’s Addiction (performing Ritual De Lo Habitual), Sleater-Kinney, NAS, Deftones, Descendents, Wolf Parade, Yo La Tengo, Flatbush Zombies, Fitz and the Tantrums, Meat Puppets, The Dandy Warhols, Motion City Soundtrack & more

Riot Fest & Rodeo (Chicago): The Original Misfits, Morrissey, Ween, Death Cab For Cutie, Social Distortion (performing White Light, White Heat, White Trash), Rob Zombie (performing White Zombie’s Astro-Creep: 2000), Brand New, NAS, Deftones, The Specials, , Jimmy Eat World, Refused, Death Grips, Bob Mould, The Hives, Descendents & more.

Outside of several reunions, including The Original Misfits (Chicago and Denver), Thursday (Chicago and Denver), Set Your Goals(Chicago and Denver), Wolf Parade (Denver), The Anniversary (Chicago) and a rare appearance by Girls Against Boys (Chicago), several bands and artists will be performing their quintessential albums during Riot Fest 2016. Most notably, Social Distortion will be exclusively performing White Light, White Heat, White Trash on the exact date of the album’s initial release (Sept. 17, 1996) for a special 20th Anniversary performance in Chicago. Moreover, Jane’s Addiction will perform Ritual De Lo Habitual in its entirety in Denver, while Rob Zombie’s first Riot Fest appearance will include an unexpected and exclusive album play of White Zombie’s Astro-Creep: 2000. The Hold Steady will also play(Boys and Girls in America).

The second wave of lineup announcements will be coming in the coming weeks, and according to organizers, a few more surprises are in store.

Conocidos por la diversidad de los artistas contratados, Riot Fest ha seguido con su tradición de ubicarse a la izquierda del dial y programar ambos festivales de una manera que desafía la homogeneidad que se ve en muchos festivales. Además de la programación musical, el festival a menudo cuenta con atracciones originales, y extravagantes. A lo largo de los años en Riot Fest se han visto desde Lucha Libre, espectáculos de fenómenos humanos de ferias (freak shows), un escultor que hace esculturas en mantequilla y una pelea de bolas de nieve, como así también un parque de atracciones completo con juegos y entretenimientos.

Algunos de los puntos más atractivos en cada lugar incluyen:

Riot Fest & Rodeo (Denver): Los Misfits Originales, Ween, Death Cab For Cutie, Jane’s Addiction (presentando Ritual De Lo Habitual), Sleater-Kinney, NAS, Deftones, Descendents, Wolf Parade, Yo La Tengo, Flatbush Zombies, Fitz and the Tantrums, Meat Puppets, The Dandy Warhols, Motion City Soundtrack & otros.

Riot Fest & Rodeo (Chicago): Los Misfits Originales, Morrissey, Ween, Death Cab For Cutie, Social Distortion (presentando White Light, White Heat, White Trash),Rob Zombie (presentando White Zombie’sAstro-Creep: 2000), Brand New, NAS, Deftones, The Specials, Refused, Death Grips, Bob Mould, The Hives, Descendents & otros.

Aparte de varias reuniones, incluyendo a los Misfits Originales (Chicago y Denver), Thursday (Chicago y Denver), Set Your Goals (Chicago y Denver), Wolf Parade (Denver), The Anniversary (Chicago) y una presentación poco común de Girls Against Boys (Chicago), varias bandas y artistas estarán presentando sus álbumes clásicos durante Riot Fest 2016. Uno de los más destacados, Social Distortion, estará presentando en forma exclusive White Light, White Heat, White Trash en la fecha exacta de la aparición inicial del álbum (Sept. 17, 1996) dando una presentación especial para el vigésimo aniversario en Chicago. Además, Jane’s Addiction presentará Ritual De Lo Habitual en Denver, mientras que la primera presentación de Rob Zombie en Riot Fest incluirá un concierto inesperado y exclusivo del álbum de White Zombie Astro-Creep: 2000. The Hold Steady también se presentarán (Boys and Girls in America).
