John Stamos to join Beach Boys at Riot Fest in Chicago
Actor John Stamos will join the Beach Boys at Riot Fest in Chicago.
He will join the Beach Boys as the drummer on September 20 in Douglas Park. In a joint statement, organizers confirmed Stamos will "begrudgingly" join the festival "after over a decade of social media harassment from Riot Fest."
Organizers said the agreement comes with some demands by the actor, including the follow:
1. Riot Mike, the founder of the festival, must get a John Stamos tattoo
2. A John Stamos look-alike contest must be hosted by Riot Fest
3. A local Chicago pizza restaurant must create a Greek style pizza named after and in honor of Stamos.
Among the list of requests are a foot run, unlimited humus served in a guitar, and Stamos masks for the crowd. Organizers confirmed they will "make every effort to complete this list of demands."
The 2025 Riot Fest lineup includes headlining sets from Blink-182, Weezer, Jack White and Green Day, plus performances from Weird Al Yankovic, Idles, Hanson, Rilo Kiley, The Beach Boys and more.
The full-album sets will be:
