The lineup announcement comes after festival organizers revealed that they struck a deal with the Chicago Park District to keep the festival in Douglass Park until at least 2027. “We’ve always built Riot Fest around independence, music, and culture,” Riot Mike Petryshyn, founder of the festival, said in a statement. “This agreement gives us the chance to keep doing that, and to invest more deeply in the neighborhoods that have allowed us to grow. It’s not about a single weekend. It’s about building something that lasts.”
Riot Fest is set to go down September 19-20 at Douglass Park in Chicago. See the full lineup below.
