Riot Fest is having a birthday, folks—it’s been around for a decade! To celebrate its tenth year on the road, Riot Fest has just announced Denver, CO and Chicago, IL installments to go along with a previously mentioned Toronto, ON, show. This traveling festival is boasting one of the best lineups we’ve seen all year long, with headliners at the Chicago edition (taking place September 12-14 in Humboldt Park) including The Cure, Wu-Tang Clan, Jane’s Addiction, Slayer, Andrew W.K., Gogol Bordello, The Flaming Lips, Buzzcocks, and many more. The Denver edition (held September 19-21 in May Farms) is made up of many of the same bands, adding Social Distortion, Primus, Sublime, TV on the Radio, Manchester Orchestra, and Violent Femmes to the list, among others. More artists are sure to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for all of the festivals (Toronto, too!) can be found currently through the festival’s website. Prices for three-day passes range from $179.98 to $289.98 in Toronto and Chicago and $159.98 to $279.98 in Denver.

Formed in Chicago in 2005, Riot Fest has always boasted a diverse lineup of rock, punk, and alternative acts. Though its flagship city is Chicago, Riot Fest concerts have also been held in Brooklyn, NY; Dallas, TX; Philadelphia, PA; and more.
