Riot Fest 20th Anniversary Lineup 2025
This September, Riot Fest returns to Douglass Park in Chicago to celebrate its 20th anniversary — and the lineup is everything fans hoped for and more. From punk pioneers to modern alt-rock heroes.
A Milestone Celebration
Running from September 19–21, the festival will host over 90 acts across multiple stages, blending nostalgia and novelty in true Riot Fest fashion. Whether you’ve been attending since the early club days or are planning your first dive into the pit, the 20th anniversary offers a uniquely curated experience that honors the past while charging full-speed into the future.
Headliners
Three genre-defining acts will anchor each night:
- Friday: blink-182 — The pop-punk legends return to Riot Fest with a high-energy set sure to include hits like “All the Small Things” and “What’s My Age Again?” alongside new material from their recent releases.
- Saturday: Weezer and Jack White — A rare double-headliner night featuring Weezer’s sugary alt-rock anthems and Jack White’s genre-bending brilliance. Expect sing-alongs and guitar solos that melt faces.
- Sunday: Green Day — One of punk rock’s most enduring names will close out the festival with a bang, likely mixing classics from Dookie and American Idiot with cuts from their newer work.
