Riot Fest has officially unveiled its spectacular full lineup for the much-anticipated 2025 20th Anniversary Festival. This celebration marks two decades of unforgettable music experiences, and fans can expect an incredible array of performances.
The inaugural Riot Fest took place back in November 2005 at the iconic Congress Theater in Chicago, showcasing legendary acts such as Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, and The Germs. Over the years, it has evolved into a premier punk rock festival that continues to honor its roots while introducing new talent.
This year’s milestone event is scheduled for September 19-21 at Douglass Park in Chicago. Highlighting the lineup will be headliners Blink-182, Weezer, and Green Day, promising an electrifying atmosphere that fans won’t want to miss.

Riot Fest has consistently proven to be one of the most entertaining accounts to follow on X. Earlier today, they created quite a buzz among fans by mistakenly sharing the lineup for 2024, which prominently featured Fall Out Boy, Beck, Pavement, and Slayer. They quickly clarified that the post was referencing last year’s festival, not the upcoming 2025 event.
