Riot Fest 2025 is just around the corner! While the three-day fest will be headlined by Green Day, Weezer, and blink-182, featuring more than 90 other artists across the weekend, everyone knows the party doesn’t stop once the headlining set ends. Riot Fest Late Night Aftershows, a yearly tradition, will kick off on Wednesday, September 17, ahead of the festival’s official Friday, September 19, start date.
Late Night Aftershows will feature performances from Chicago natives such as Alkaline Trio, The Academy Is…, and Knuckle Puck, as well as performances from punk rock legends The Damned, Sex Pistols, Marky Ramone, Buzzcocks, Bouncing Souls, and more. Presale tickets will be available beginning on Wednesday, August 6, with the presale code RIOT20. General tickets will be available the following day, on Thursday, August 7.
