The festival
Douglass Park turns into a punk fairground: a Ferris wheel, carnival rides, and stages where legendary bands replay their albums in full. Riot Fest is Chicago in September — loud, generous, and full of reunions nobody thought possible.
Born in 2005 in Chicago's club rooms, Riot Fest has grown into one of America's great rock festivals. Its 21st edition ran 18–20 September 2026; the return is announced for 17–19 September 2027.
