The organizers of the 2024 Riot Fest have revealed that the event will now be returning to its original location at Douglas Park in Chicago, IL on September 20-22. This news comes after the festival was previously set to make the move to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL this year.
The following statement was issued:
“Driven by the overwhelming support of the City of Chicago and our fans, we’re excited to announce that we are coming back home to Chicago and Douglass Park.
If there was no Chicago, there’d be no Riot Fest.
As we continue to build a long-term partnership with the City of Chicago, we remain focused on our shared vision of stability and growth in the neighborhood we call home. We deeply appreciate the support from Mayor Johnson, Alderwoman Scott, the Chicago Park District, and The North Lawndale and Little Village communities.
We’re not just coming home–we’re coming back stronger, with an even greater purpose and doubling down on our commitment to Chicago, our fans, and our community. Riot Fest was born and bred here; it’s where we belong.
Details regarding changes to shuttling, parking, and ticketing [can be found HERE], with more information to come in the coming weeks as we shore up our plans to make this year’s Riot Fest our best ever.
Thanks for being awesome. We love you.”
As previously reported, Riot Fest will feature performances from Slayer, Fall Out Boy, Beck, The Offspring, Rob Zombie, Sum 41, NOFX, Lamb Of God, Mastodon, Sublime, Suicidal Tendencies, GWAR, Clutch, Taking Back Sunday, and more. The updated lineup can be found below:
