Riot Fest is returning to Douglass Park this September after resolving permit delays. Organizer Mike Petryshyn noted a positive working relationship with the Park District.
Riot Fest has often faced criticism over its use of park space. Ald. Monique Scott defended it as a 'cornerstone' for the community, criticizing the negative narrative.
This year, 10% of Riot Fest's revenue will go toward Douglass Park through the Park Enhancement Fund, supporting ongoing community efforts and park improvements.
The 2024 lineup features major acts including Pavement, Beck, Fall Out Boy, Slayer, and more, reflecting Riot Fest's commitment to punk and rock genres.
