Riot Fest announces shakeup with new location, lineup: Fall Out Boy, Beck, Slayer
There's been a shakeup ahead of Riot Fest's return to the Chicago area this fall.
The festival has released its lineup and announced a move. Fall Out Boy, Beck, Slayer and St. Vincent lead the lineup for the Chicago-based music festival, which is set to move from Douglas Park to SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois.
The event's co-founder, Mike Petryshyn, made the location change announcement in a statement on Tuesday, blaming the park's manager for its "lack of care for the community, you and us," leaving organizers "no choice."
Despite the move, the festival is still planning on bringing its mix of punk rock and hip-hop to Illinois this fall; the three-day festival is set for Sept. 20 to 22, with additional appearances by Public Enemy, Sublime, Rob Zombie, Tierra Whack and more.
