Jawbreaker, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Nine Inch Nails have been confirmed to headline Chicago's Riot Fest this autumn.

M.I.A., Vic Mensa, Wu-Tang Clan, New Order, Paramore, TV On the Radio, FIDLAR, Action Bronson, Dinosaur Jr., Peaches, Death From Above 1979, Liars, The Cribs, Shabazz Palaces, and loads more are also confirmed for the festival.

Despite nixing reunion rumpurs for years, Jawbreaker are getting the ol' band back together to perform together for the first time this century. Frontman Blake Schwarzenbach has famously denied plans to reform many times, once stating that he "physically [doesn't] feel capable of doing it."

Check out the first lineup announcement poster below.

Riot Fest 2017 takes place 15-17 September at Chicago's Douglas Park. Find out more.
