DANZIG Legacy Performance Confirmed For Chicago's Riot Fest
June 27, 2011, 13 years ago
Chicago's Riot Fest have announced a very special DANZIG Legacy performance with Glenn Danzig reuniting for performances with SAMHAIN members, an onstage reunion with Doyle from THE MISFITS as well as a Danzig headlining set, all talking place at Congress Theater during Riot Fest 2011 on Friday, October 7th.
Said Michael Petryshyn, founder of Riot Fest: "Everyone in music has a band or a musician that changed them. For me, it is Glenn Danzig. I am in music because of Danzig, Samhain and The Misfits. I remember being a ten-year-old when my friend handed me Danzig, and it blew me away. It was different…it was the first album for me, now looking back, where form matched content. Soon after, I found this entire wealth of music he wrote before 1988 and I became an even bigger fan. Musically, it opened my world to punk, metal and hardcore. To have Glenn perform his solo works, to go on stage with Samhain for a set and, lastly, to play Misfits songs with Doyle will always be the one show I remember."
