Riot Fest has shared its full 2024 lineup, taking place from September 20-22 at the all-new “RiotLand” at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Ill.
Festival organizer Mike Petryshyn (aka “Riot Mike”) wrote a statement on social media last week regarding the future of Riot Fest, stating that it would be moving to a new location from Chicago’s Douglass Park: “I was tired of Riot Fest continually being the lowest hanging fruit. I was tired of playing their games. I was tired of watching something I love being continually used to deflect away from their own internal deficits. This prevented us from giving you the experience you deserve.”
Slayer, Fall Out Boy and Beck will headline the three-day festival, with the 2024 lineup also including St. Vincent, Public Enemy, Bright Eyes, Dr. Dog, Waxahatchee, Rob Zombie, Spoon, Cypress Hill, Tierra Whack, Something Corporate, The Armed, Beach Bunny, Gel, Drug Church, Taking Back Sunday, Fiddlehead, Basement, Sum 41, and Sublime featuring late singer Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob.
Full album performances this year include the Offspring playing Smash, Manchester Orchestra doing Cope, and Mastodon performing Leviathan. Other noteworthy sets are an Operation Ivy tribute by Laura Jane Grace and Catbite, Bob Marley’s sons getting together to perform his music, and NOFX playing a farewell performance.
