Guess what? Riot Fest 2025 is damn near here. Going down September 19th-21st at Chicago’s Douglass Park, this year’s edition is a doozy. Not only does it boast headliners Green Day, blink-182, and Weezer, as well as an impressive undercard, but it’s also the 20th anniversary of the iconic festival. Luckily, Consequence has two (2) General Admission Weekend Passes for Riot Fest 2025 up for grabs. Enter for your chance to win below or by heading here.
Riot Fest 2025’s spectacular lineup kicks off on Friday with pop punk legends blink-182, the one-and-only “Weird Al” Yankovic, a reunited Rilo Kiley, and a host of other notable punk and indie acts. Saturday brings the one-two punch of Weezer and Jack White, as well as Sex Pistols, Dropkick Murphys, The Front Bottoms, and more. Finally, to wrap it up on Sunday, Green Day will take the stage after sets from the likes of IDLES, Jawbreaker, Bad Religion, Texas Is the Reason, The Wonder Years… we could really sit here all day listing each kick-ass band.
Plus, to add to the anniversary celebration, 20 bands will perform classic albums in their entirety. That includes folks like Weezer, Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, The Pogues, The Hold Steady, and more. (Check out the full list of artists doing album-plays here.)
Beyond the music, Riot Fest offers a quintessential Chicago festival experience. The celebration embraces the city’s DIY punk culture with immersive art installations, local food vendors, and the kind of community atmosphere that has made Riot Fest a beloved annual tradition. True to its punk rock roots, the festival continues to champion independent artists and underground culture while honoring the legends who paved the way.
