To celebrate Riot Fest's 10th anniversary, ten acts on the bill will rip through (arguably) classic records in full. Two days after revealing its impressive 2014 lineup, Riot Fest dropped more details on our second most anticipated summer music festival. Weezer, as it often does these days, will primarily stick to its legendary Raditude

Nah, just kidding. It's the Blue Album, the one they'll never be able to touch. Jane's Addiction offers up its 1988 debut, but we're guessing "Been Caught Stealing" will get tossed in as well. And there's more. Here is the list of LPs you can hear in Humboldt Park, September 12–14.

Jane’s Addiction Nothing’s Shocking
The Offspring Smash
Weezer Weezer ("The Blue Album")
Slayer Reign in Blood
Samhain Initium
NOFX Punk In Drublic
Descendents Milo Goes To College
Naked Raygun Throb Throb
The Get Up Kids Something To Write Home About

You will note that this list totals just nine. Festival organizers are keeping the tenth act and album up their sleeve. Any guesses?  Still crossing our fingers for Jawbreaker, 24 Hour Revenge Therapy.
