Dillinger Four

The final day of Riot Fest included classic punk albums performed in full by Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, and Fear, plus sets from Run the Jewels, Father John Misty, Blondie, Johnny Marr, Superchunk, Dillinger Four, The Wonder Years, and more.

There are so many great acts playing Chicago’s Riot Fest this weekend and lots of tough conflicts. So if you’re trying to decide who to see, here are ten ideas…

Melodic punk greats Dillinger Four haven’t released a new album in a decade, and their shows are few and far between these days, but they’re still a killer live band and any chance to see them is worth taking. So it’s exciting news that they just announced Northeast shows…

The stacked Riot Fest also includes Blondie, Interpol, Alkaline Trio, Father John Misty, Bad Religion, The Wonder Years, Cat Power, Hot Snakes, Johnny Marr, Superchunk, Dillinger Four, Piebald, and more.

Like they do every spring/summer, Brooklyn’s House of Vans is throwing a series of free shows and the 2017 lineup has been announced. This year, there’s a series in Chicago as well…

There’s a series in Chicago this year too (with Cap’n Jazz, Dillinger Four, and more).

The great melodic punk band Dillinger Four‘s shows are still few and far between, and they just added another date for 2017. Tickets are on sale now.

The lineup also includes Leftover Crack, The Pietasters, The Explosion, PUP, and more.

From newcomers like Gouge Away to veterans like Negative Approach, here’s 15 bands we’re excited about that play The Fest this weekend.
