Riot Fest is going to look a bit different from past iterations.For the first time ever, the long-running punk festival will take place Sept.

19-22 at Bridgeview, IL’s SeatGeek Stadium, which the fest has officially dubbed RiotLand.From 2015-23 (excluding 2020), Riot Fest took place at Chicago’s Douglas Park; they moved to the new venue this year due to disagreements with the Chicago Park District.“Though our curtains may have closed in Douglass Park, another one has opened,” Riot Fest co-founder Mike “Riot Mike” Petryshyn said, referring to “RiotLand” statement. “It’s something like you’ve never seen before.

And it’s far overdue.”And while the venue change may be making headlines, headliners at this year’s star-studded extravaganza are nothing to sneeze at.They include emo hitmakers Fall Out Boy, metal mainstays Slayer, Grammy-winning ’90s icon Beck, Hip-Hop pioneers Public Enemy and punk rock royalty The Offspring.Bright Eyes, Sublime, St.

Vincent, Rob Zombie and Dr. Dog are just a few of the other megastars on the bill.For those questioning Riot Fest’s punk bona fides, we’re happy to report many anarchic acts will be there as well.Just a few you should keep an eye out for are NOFX — who are performing Friday through Sunday as part of their farewell tour — along with The Descendents, Circle Jerks, Pennywise, Buzzcocks and The Dillinger Four.Plus, The Marley Brothers (Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani and Damian) will be there, too.As you can see, RiotLand truly has a little something for everyone.And if you want to be there, single and multi-day passes are available as of today.Three-day passes start at $244 before fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.If you want to attend just one day, single-day passes can be.
