Riot Fest has announced part of its 2016 lineup and joining the Misfits reunion at the September festival in Chicago will be a number of big-name artists including Morrissey, Ween and Death Cab for Cutie.

Also among the top headlining acts are Social Distortion, Rob Zombie, Motion City Soundtrack, Jimmy Eat World, The Hold Steady, The Specials, Refused, The Hives, and a rare appearance by Girls Against Boys.

Festival organizers first announced last week “The Original Misfits” would be performing together for the first time in 33 years, but also reuniting for the Chicago fest are Thursday, Set Your Goals, and The Anniversary.

The festival also said Social Distortion will exclusively perform their album White Light, White Heat, White Trash on the exact date the album was first released in 1996.

The announcement is the first of two lineup releases set for the festival. Another wave of announcements is expected to come out in the coming weeks, the festival said.
