Blink-182 vs. Motörhead
“Riot Fest is bringing the carnival back to Chicago’s Humboldt Park from September 13-15,” Pitchfork reports.
“This year’s lineup features Public Enemy, Dismemberment Plan, Dinosaur Jr., Best Coast, Bob Mould, Mission of Burma, Guided By Voices, FLAG, DeVotchka, GWAR, Stars, Toots and the Maytals, Peter Hook, Surfer Blood, Blondie, Rocket From the Crypt, X, Atmosphere, Motörhead, Violent Femmes, Bad Brains, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, White Mystery, Maps and Atlases, and more.”
Here’s the way the lineup was received on Twitter.
If Riot Fest really wanted to be metal they’d have announced their lineup at 2am instead of 10pm.

Awful to see Taking Back Sunday get higher billing than Dinosaur Jr, though.

@mleif it does though not as bad as fall out boy getting top billing over motorhead or half of the other acts at riot fest this year.

I’m seriously outraged Riot Fest has Blink 182 listed as headliner ABOVE Motorhead. That’s insane. Otherwise, mostly cool line up. #riotfest

But mostly, the tweets have been like this one:
