Riot Fest Chicago is the elephant in the room all other festivals must recognize and then drop to their knees and worship. The initial lineup announcement which included 110 bands, almost shut down the alternative music blogosphere when released. Now, with three months to go until launch, the organizers for Riot Fest Chicago have revealed 14 additional performers who will be appearing in Illinois on the weekend of September 13.

Topping the list of late additions to Riot Fest is none other than iconic rock outfit Primus. They are joined by fellow new recruits The Hold Steady, Say Anything, Tiny Moving Parts, Tokyo Police Club, and more. You can view the full list of additions below, as well as the original list of performers.

Riot Fest Chicago takes places September 12-14 in Humboldt Park. Tickets are on sale now.
