Chicago’s favorite punk rock festival makes its end-of-summer return again at Douglas Park on September 15 – 17. Over 100 bands will hit the Riot Fest stages for a three-day fest that will blow you away. Not to mention, there are carnival rides.
At 9am today, Riot Fest announced the first wave of its 2017 lineup, with perhaps the most buzzworthy headliner being Jawbreaker, the 90s emo band that hasn’t reunited since 1996. Other big names include Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, and New Order.
Seems like it was just yesterday that we were watching The Flaming Lips, Method Man and Redman, Death Grips, and Glenn Danzig reunite as The Misfits on a hot summer day last year. September will be here before you know it, and tickets go on sale at noon today, so get yours soon.
