Prepare for 3 days of musical mayhem in September! Chicago's Riot Fest unleashes epic lineup, tickets on sale

Since 2012, the festival has embraced the great outdoors, initially calling Humboldt Park home before finding its groove at Douglass Park in 2015

Music lovers, mark your calendars! The highly anticipated lineup for Riot Fest, one of Chicago's biggest music festivals, was revealed on Tuesday morning, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. Set to take place at Douglass Park from September 15-17, 2023, this year's festival promises a stellar roster of headliners and a diverse range of musical acts.

Leading the charge on Friday night will be none other than the legendary Foo Fighters, joined by the electrifying Turnstile. Saturday's lineup features a powerhouse combination of The Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie, sharing the stage with the acclaimed Queens of the Stone Age. The festival reaches its crescendo on Sunday with the iconic sounds of The Cure and The Mars Volta.

But the lineup doesn't stop there. Riot Fest has curated a lineup that caters to a wide range of musical tastes. Among the artists and bands set to perform are the influential Ani DiFranco, the funkadelic Parliament Funkadelic featuring George Clinton, the enigmatic Insane Clown Posse, the multi-talented Corey Feldman, the captivating duo Tegan and Sara, and the anthemic sounds of The Gaslight Anthem.

Fans eager to secure their spot at Riot Fest can mark their calendars for Tuesday, May 16, at 10 a.m. The festival's website will be the gateway to acquiring coveted tickets for this epic event.

Riot Fest, which first rocked Chicago in 2005, has evolved over the years.
