Riot Fest Toronto Reveals Lineup

May 6th, 2014

Last year, Riot Fest proved to be one of the most exciting and successful music festivals in recent memory, ushering in reunions from massive artists like The Replacements and offering great weekends of music to three cities across North America. Riot Fest will return this year to Toronto, Chicago, and Denver, and the real excitement – the lineup announcements – begins today.

The first city to find out what they have in store for September is Toronto. This year’s edition of Riot Fest Toronto will feature prominent Canadian artists like City And Colour, Billy Talent, and hometown heroes Death From Above 1979. The rest of the lineup is nothing to scoff at either, with appearances lined up from Brand New, Alkaline Trio, The Hotelier, Laura Stevenson, and many, many more. If the Chicago and Denver lineups look anything like this, no Riot Fest attendee will walk away disappointed.

Riot Fest Toronto will take place at Downsview Park on September 6 and 7. Tickets go on sale right here at 10:00 AM EST on Saturday, May 10, and you’ll want to be ready to pick yours up as soon as possible. For now, check out the full list of currently announced bands below.
