The countdown has begun for the anticipated return of Riot Fest to Douglass Park in Chicago, IL, next year. Slated for September 19th-21st, this marks the 20th anniversary of the event, and early bird pre-sale tickets are already up for grabs at this location.
As of now, there are no official announcements regarding which bands will grace the stage. However, the festival’s social media channels have been buzzing with mysterious “riddles,” sparking curiosity among fans.
The first cryptic clue read: “You can’t spell the word Riot without a trio or two… or three.” What does this mean? Could this be a nod to legendary punk or alternative bands known for their dynamic trio configurations, or perhaps even a clue about a special set featuring multiple key members?
The second clue teased something even more intriguing: “Although we love the Riot bands with all our will, sometimes a reunion or two is what fits the bill.” It seems the festival organizers are hinting at some high-profile reunions.
Let's not forget that Slayer played their first-ever reunion concert at this year's event.
