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.

Weezer Bassist Scott Shriner's Wife Shot by Police, Arrested for Attempted Murder
Jillian Shriner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by LAPD and arrested Tuesday for attempted murder during a search for a hit-and-run suspect. While searching a home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon for a hit-and-run suspect, authorities spotted Jillian Shriner in the front yard of her house, located next door, holding a pistol. Police asked her to drop the weapon multiple times, but she refused, instead turning it on the officers. LAPD then opened fire and she was hit in the shoulder. No officers or members of the public were harmed during the incident, according to the LAPD report.

She was then taken into custody and brought to a local hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound, which police say was non-life threatening. The LAPD stated Jillian Shriner had nothing to do with the hit-and-run, and she was later booked for attempted murder. A A 9-millimeter handgun was recovered from the Shriners' house, according to LAPD. Los Angeles rock band Weezer, co-founded by Scott Shriner, is set to play at Coachella on April 12 and 19.
