With more potential additions to the bill and the main headliner slated to be announced later this week, the Red Bull Riot Fest has begun announcing the largest line up in their sixth year history.  So far blockbuster bands Weezer, Social Distortion, the Descendents, and X have signed on the to five day festival.

Scheduled to be announced at 9 a.m. CST on Friday, the main headliner will be proclaimed one hour before tickets go on sale.

Set to take over the night life of Chicago from Oct. 5 – 9, the Red Bull Riot Fest will feature shows at the Congress Theater, Bottom Lounge, Double Door, the Cobra Lounge, the AAA Warehouse, and other venues throughout the city.
