Chicago’s Riot Fest has been the spot for punk rock since 2005. Their line-ups chock full of genre staples, along with some emo and rap for good measure, bring thousands of fans to Douglass Park every year.

This year’s line-up boasts the newly reunited My Chemical Romance, heavyweights Misfits, and Nine Inch Nails across the weekend.

Elsewhere on the billing is a wide breadth of artists with Alkaline Trio, Portugal the Man, Bleachers, Bauhaus, YungBlud, Ice Cube, and Sleater Kenney to name a few.

Emo superheroes Sunny Day Real Estate will stage their latest reunion at the fest, playing their first set in 12 years. Other reunion sets include Yellowcard, the Academy Us…, and Midtown. Other notable additions are Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jeff Rosenstock, Descendents, Bad Religion, and Jimmy Eat World.

“I think this year’s lineup really speaks to who we are; it’s been a minute since we’ve gotten to curate a lineup like this,” said festival founder Mike Petryshyn of the current lineup. “I’m especially excited for what this is leading into: the stuff that’s happening in the next few weeks, and the years to come.”

The festival is slated for September 16 -18. Weekend-long passes start at $299.98. VIP passes include exclusive gate access, private restrooms, shaded lounges, and private bars. Find more information on tickets and pass options, HERE.
