Riot Fest will be considerably bigger this year than last in several ways: The Fest will be three days instead of two and feature four stages instead of three. They're also doubling the number of both camping spaces and carnival rides as well as adding a second VIP area and more shade tents. Some logistical concerns from last year have been addressed as well -- there will be free parking and organizers promise a reconfigured layout designed to help alleviate traffic concerns.
The rest of the lineup is below, along with some more information about this year's Riot Fest.

This will be the second time it has appeared in Colorado; both times the organization behind it has partnered with Soda Jerk Presents to put together the local installment. Last year, we got Guided By Voices, FLAG and the Replacements, among others.
The Early Bird ticket price includes entry to all three days. They will be available for a short period of time, at which point prices will go up in tiers to $129.98, then $149.98, $178.98 and finally $189.98. VIP passes are $289.98. Camping passes are also on sale now.
In addition to the Colorado and Chicago dates, Riot Fest will be in September on September 6 and 7. The lineup there was announced on Saturday, and they're already up to the $178.98 price tier. Bands include Death Cab for Cutie, Social Distortion, Die Antwoord and The National.
