Aside from the main events, Riot Fest is host to many events to keep the party going after hours. Throughout Chicago, there are aftershows that you won’t want to miss out on. It’s worth noting that these tickets are separate from Riot Fest festival tickets but totally worth it!

Riot Fest is a full-on experience combining music, art, and a lot of fun. Even though Riot Fest jokes they never bring the bands fans wanted, we think this is a pretty great lineup. This festival is everything you could want and more. On top of the music, Riot Fest also offers a variety of food vendors serving everything from classic festival fare to vegan options and gourmet bites. What more could you ask for?

With its unbeatable lineup, thrilling attractions, and welcoming community, it’s no wonder this festival has become a staple in the music scene.
