Riot Fest has confirmed its 2025 dates for September 19-21 at Douglass Park in Chicago, marking the festival’s 20th anniversary. Early bird pre-sale tickets are already available, setting the stage for what promises to be a significant event.
Although the lineup has yet to be officially announced, Riot Fest has been dropping clues on social media, sparking speculation among fans. The first riddle reads, “You can’t spell the word Riot without a trio or two … or three.” This has led to guesses that the festival could feature well-known punk or alternative bands with trio lineups, or perhaps even a set involving multiple key members.
A second clue suggests, “Sometimes a reunion or two is what fits the bill,” which has fans wondering if the 2025 festival will include some high-profile reunions, especially after Slayer’s surprise reunion performance this year.
With the festival still several months away, these cryptic hints have only increased anticipation. Riot Fest’s 20th anniversary is shaping up to be a memorable one, but the full lineup reveal remains to be seen.
