blink-182, Weezer and Green Day to headline Riot Fest 2025

The line-up has been revealed for this year’s 20th anniversary edition of Riot Fest.

The Chicago celebration will be headlined by blink-182, Weezer (doing a 1994 debut Blue Album-themed set) and Green Day between September 19 – 21. Elsewhere, the Douglass Park bill features everyone from Sex Pistols with Frank Carter, Knocked Loose, IDLES, Alkaline Trio, The Wonder Years, Lambrini Girls, All Time Low, The Linda Lindas and more.

For Friday’s headliners blink, they’ll be right in the midst of their Missionary Impossible tour with Alkaline Trio, before the band’s Enema Of The State, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket and Untitled sets at October’s When We Were Young. Weezer, meanwhile, have been busy filming their own movie, and closing headliners Green Day just smashed two Coachellas out the park. Exciting times!
