Always looking for the after parties at festivals? Well look no further! Riot Fest 2017 has officially announced their late night concert schedule.
There is no need to end the party at 10 p.m. when the headliners, including Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age and Jawbreaker, end their sets in Chicago’s Douglas Park on September 15th – 17th for Riot Fest.
Nine Inch Nails
Queens of the Stone Age
Jawbreaker
The organizers of Riot Fest 2017 want you to rock through the small clubs in Chicago with the slew of bands they have to offer. Before the festival kicks off you can see Chicago’s acclaimed punks, The Orwells, The Queers and The Ataris (who are Riot Fest alumni). The Orwells can be seen at the House of Vans for a free with RSVP show. Throughout the festival weekend you can head to the 300 capacity Cobra Lounge to see influential bands like GBH, Buzzcocks and Hot Water Music. New Found Glory, Bayside and Gogol Bordello will be rocking out in Concord Music Hall every night while Cap’n Jazz, Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill will show the indie rock lover’s their paradize at Bottom Lounge. Taking Back Sunday will shut down Riot Fest weekend after Jawbreaker and Paramore close down the festival.
