Riot Fest Just Dropped Its Full 2026 Chicago Schedule

Riot Fest Releases 2026 Daily Schedule for Douglass Park

Riot Fest just dropped its full daily schedule for the upcoming show, including performance times.

The three-day festival runs September 18-20 at Douglass Park in Chicago. Having been around for over 20 years, this is one festival that seems to elude me every year. It's not because the lineup is bad; it's always because I've got stuff going on. As of right now, these dates are kind of sort of open. If you're like me and haven't found the time to go in the past, maybe this year's group of rockers will make the decision for you.
