Preview: Riot Fest’s Daily Lineup Is Here, Just in Time for One- and Two-Day Passes

While we've all be riding the high of the Riot Fest lineup announcement, the daily breakdown has kinda jumped out of nowhere! Daily lineups are incredibly pertinent for those looking to catch certain headliners or a day that leans a little closer to their music tastes. Riot Fest is steadfastly focused on alternative rock and punk, but they always welcome a variety of acts to really fill out their lineups. As usual, Riot Fest daily curation is pretty on point.

All three days of the September Riot Fest this year are reasonably well rounded. Legacy acts are getting their due across all three days, there's a little hip hop everyday, and the headliners are well laid out. Twenty One Pilots and Iggy Pop are leading the more alt rock day with All American Rejects, Alkaline Trio, Motion City Soundtrack and Rise Against. Tool and Morrissey will top the Saturday lineup that feels a little more punk withSocial Distortion, Bad Religion, Descendants, Public Image Ltd, and Pup. Then Sunday, headlined by Pierce the Veil and Alanis Morissette, seems to have the most heavy lean toward indie rockers; the under-card is overflowing withThe Format, Twin Peaks, This is Lorelei, The Beths, Mom Jeans, Macseal, and more!

Riot Fest will take place on September 17, 18 and 19 at Douglass Park. Single and Two-Day passes go on-sale tomorrow at 10am! Three-day passes are available now! General admission passes are $339.98, $449.98 for VIP passes, $959.98 for deluxe and Deluxe+ passes $1,669.98
