What's better than an old school punk fest? An old school punk fest all hepped up on energy drink.... Yeah, well. If you're old as well as old school, Red Bull will give you back some of that stay out all night and party like it's 1985 energy without getting you arrested.
Seriously though, it's a pretty sweet line up with another major announcement coming the 24th. X is one of our all time favorites and we caught them at both Double Door and Metro. We last saw Helmet at Melkweg, in Amsterdam, back in the day. We're also happy to see The Dead Milkmen will be comin' back around, too.
The Dead Milkmen are featuring ChiIL Mama's photos on their web site. Here's our link to their last show in April at The Congress Theater.
We also got some great shots of Naked Raygun earlier this year, when they played The Congress with Dropkick Murphys in February. Check out our live show photos HERE.
We have some excellent stills of Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band from Summer Camp Music Festival 2011. ChiIL Mama's BEST OF SUMMER CAMP shots were just featured by Jay TV and our Big Damn Band stills can be seen HERE.

Since 2005, Riot Fest has outdone itself year after year, presenting the best bands from every genre under the umbrella of rock and punk, with epic reunions being a hallmark of the festival. In 2011, Red Bull Riot Fest steps up the game to a new level: killer headliners abound, from Weezer and the Descendents to Social Distortion and X (playing their iconic Los Angeles album in its entirety).
Riot Fest is also saving the best for last with their final headliner announcement on Friday, June 24 at 9 a.m. CDT -- watch for a press release!
“The final headliner announcement is very special for me personally, and almost needless to say, it’s something that I never thought would happen. We thought that this deserves its very own separate announcement and I’m happy to say that we’ll be doing it with a few close friends that you might know this upcoming Friday,” said Michael A. Petryshyn, founder of Riot Fest.

Red Bull Riot Fest began in 2005, when Michael Petryshyn and Sean McKeough launched the first fest in multiple venues over a weekend in Chicago to celebrate rock and punk from every era. They put special emphasis on reuniting influential punk and underground bands who hadn’t shared the stage in years and Chicago’s rich music history has always been a huge part of the Riot Fest roster. It quickly became one of the top gatherings for fans of every genre under the rock, indie and punk umbrella, with fans traveling from around the world to attend. Red Bull Riot Fest Chicago runs October 5-9th.
