One week before opening day, Riot Fest has finalized its lineup, though the three big additions went public yesterday. When the festival announced Run the Jewels, Weezer, and Taking Back Sunday (who play the fest almost as frequently as Andrew W.K. and Gwar), they were presented as replacements for previously announced headliners Blink-182, who were forced to cancel several dates because drummer Travis Barker has been struggling with blood clots in his arms since June. With the release of daily lineups today, it’s become clear that Weezer will headline Friday, Beck will headline Saturday, and Run the Jewels will coheadline Sunday night with Incubus.
