Riot Fest 2024 is making its triumphant return to Douglass Park in Chicago. After previously announcing that the fest would be moving to Bridgeview, on Aug. 14, Riot Fest founder Michael “Riot Mike” Petryshyn revealed that the three-day extravaganza – held on Sept. 20-22 – is going home again.
“If there was no Chicago, there’d be no Riot Fest,” said Petryshyn, “It grew out of an independent music community where one would be able to see Naked Raygun, Smashing Pumpkins, or Rise Against on a random Saturday night, and you’d still have enough time to go catch a late-night set at Legends and if lucky enough, maybe Buddy (Guy) would be there performing at his venue. We’re not just coming home—we’re coming back passionately, with an even greater purpose and doubling down on our commitment to Chicago, our fans, and our community. Riot Fest was born and bred here; it’s where we belong.”
Festival organizers are also offering a 20% off ticket deal for everyone who already snagged a pass, and those who are about to, when they refer a friend. This offer is available until Aug. 31.
On top of all that, Riot Fest also shared the daily schedules which can be seen below. More information can be found at RiotFest.org.
