Riot Fest will be celebrating its 20 year anniversary in no time—it’ll be sunny September in Chicago before we know it! With headliners blink-182, Weezer, and Green Day stretched across the three-day weekend, the festival has announced the breakdown of its single-day lineups.
The festival this year is slated to celebrate its 20th anniversary, but will also feature a number of album playthroughs celebrating their own anniversaries, including Knuckle Puck’s Copacetic, The Academy Is… performing Almost Here, Alkaline Trio’s Maybe I’ll Catch Fire, and more.
