Riot Fest 2023 Lineup and Ticket Schedule
Riot Fest is in full swing! Taking place September 15-17 in Chicago, IL, the annual rock music event has finally announced its lineup, and there’s something for everyone. Headliners include Foo Fighters, The Cure, Turnstile, Queens of the Stone Age, Death Cab For Cutie, and The Mars Volta. Additionally, 60+ more artists will head to Douglass Park for a raging and rockin’ party in the Windy City.

Sure, there are already a lot of rock music festivals happening in 2023, like Aftershock and Blue Ridge Rock Fest. However, these are mostly geared towards the heavy metal fans. Riot Fest, on the other hand, is a rock and roll lover’s dream! Whether you’re into alternative, indie, progressive, or even stoner rock, you’ll have your sign of the horns at the ready during every set.
More artists on the Riot Fest lineup include Tegan and Sara, The Gaslight Anthem, The Used, Sleep Token, and so much more. We already have a few thoughts…won’t the Sleep Token guys get a bit hot when they’re fully masked up in the middle of a Chicago summer? Will The Cure bring out any special guests to commemorate their reunion? How will Ben Gibbard pull double-duty headlining two bands, Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, at Riot Fest?

All of these questions will be answered this September, and we can’t wait! Another thing to look forward to? The amalgamation of rock and rap that Riot Fest has made their specialty. They love bringing out genre-bending artists every year, and 2023 is no exception. You’ll get a taste of hip-hop and guitar heroes with the likes of Death Grips, Insane Clown Posse, and more. And there’s no greater joy than spitting out rap verses one second before heading into the circle pit the next.

The only thing that could make Riot Fest better? Great food, perfect weather, and good times with your crew. Spoiler alert: you’ll be getting all three this fall. There’s no other rock music festival quite as chill and exciting at the same time, and you’ll see it firsthand at Riot Fest. Get your tickets now!
