Green Day, Blink-182 and Weezer headline daily lineups at Riot Fest
Riot Fest is returning to Douglass Park this summer and treating its loyal fans to one-of-a-kind performances. The latest: The festival released its daily lineups and will mark its 20th anniversary by having 20 bands play full album sets. Friday, Sept. 19: Blink-182, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Alkaline Trio headline the evening. Saturday, Sept. 20: Weezer, Jack White and the Sex Pistols headline. Sunday, Sept. 21: Green Day, IDLES, Jawbreaker and Bad Religion. Zoom in: In addition to the headliners, Riot Fest announced the 20 acts that will play their iconic albums live in their entirety. Some of those include: Weezer: "The Blue Album" Sex Pistols: "Never Mind the Bullocks" Alkaline Trio: "Maybe I'll Catch Fire" Bad Religion: "Suffer" The Pogues: "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" The Hold Steady: "Separation Sunday" The Academy Is: "Almost Here" Helmet: "Betty" Smoking Popes: "Born To Quit" The big picture: Riot Fest has performed at several parks over its 20-year history, but has settled in at Douglass Park despite a rocky relationship with neighbors and the Chicago Park District. Earlier this year, the festival and the park district signed a multi-year deal that not only keeps the festival in Chicago but also promises over $4 million in park revenue, including $1 million for Douglass Park specifically.
