Other acts include Idles, All Time Low, Rilo Kiley, members of the Sex Pistols, Alkaline Trio, jawbreaker, Bad Religion, Sparks, Gym Class Heroes, The Hold Steady, Dropkick Murphys, The Pogues and the Beach Boys.
Riot Fest recently signed an agreement with the city to keep Riot Fest in Douglass Park through at least 2027 after problems with permits last year briefly led the festival to relocate to SeatGeek Stadium in suburban Bridgeview. They eventually returned to Douglass Park for the 2024 festival as well.
Tickets are on sale now at RiotFest.org. Three day general admission tickets start at $299.98.
