Following the massive reveal earlier this week celebrating its 20th anniversary, Riot Fest has doubled down on the hype with a stacked list of full album playthroughs set for the festival’s three-day takeover of Douglass Park in Chicago, running September 19–21, 2025.
With blink-182, Weezer, and Green Day headlining the milestone event, the fest will also treat fans to a rare run of classic albums performed in full. That includes Weezer bringing their beloved Blue Album to life, along with full-album sets from punk legends and scene favorites alike, such as Sex Pistols with Frank Carter, Chicago natives Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion, The Academy Is…, Knuckle Puck, and more.
“We didn’t plan on making it for twenty years,” ‘Riot Mike’ shares ahead of this year’s event. “We planned on making it through one weekend. But here we are—still loud, still weird, still building something bigger than we ever meant to.”
Grab your tickets here and get ready to ring in 20 years of Riot Fest the only way we know how to—loud, weird, and bigger than ever!
