Riot Fest 2026 Lineup Includes Twenty One Pilots, Alanis Morissette, All-American Rejects
The punk and rock festival will feature more than 100 acts, and three-day tickets are now on sale, organizers said.
On Thursday, May 28, 2026, Riot Fest unveiled its 2026 lineup, confirming the festival's return to Douglass Park in Chicago from September 18-20 with headliners Tool, Twenty One Pilots, Alanis Morissette, Morrissey, Iggy Pop, and Pierce the Veil.
The independently run festival, now in its 21st year, maintains a daily capacity of 50,000 people and secured a contract with the Chicago Park District to remain in Douglass Park through 2027.
This year's edition features over 100 artists, including returning acts like GWAR and Alkaline Trio, while retired WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling will deliver the weather forecast in person.
Three-Day tickets are currently on sale at $339.98 for general admission, with attendees able to purchase passes in cash at Reckless Records and Bucket O' Blood Records to avoid online fees.
An agreement with the Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners includes a $1 million investment into Douglass Park and up to $4.5 million in potential revenue to support citywide park programs, the district said.
