RIOT FEST & CARNIVAL UNVEILS OFFICIAL AFTERSHOW SCHEDULE

THIS YEAR ORGANIZERS PRESENT TWO KICK-OFF SHOWS IN ADVANCE OF THE FEST AT CHICAGO'S DOUGLAS PARK, SEPTEMBER 16-18

Chicago’s Riot Fest & Carnival, September 16-18 has announced the official after show schedule. This year, they are kicking off the festival with two special  shows before the festival begins on Friday, 9/16. There will be an intimate performance with Punk rock legends Agent Orange on Wednesday, 9/14 at Cobra Lounge as scheduling didn’t permit a Riot Fest performance. On Thursday 9/15, ska favorites The Specials will be making a stop at Concord Music Hall.

 

The first night of the Riot Fest and Carnival, Friday 9/16 will be capped off with after shows from Dillinger Escape Plan (who recently announced that they are disbanding) at Cobra Lounge, Basement, Citizen and Turnover at Double Door and Riot Fest favorite Taking Back Sunday will play an exclusive show at Metro.

 

Saturday night, Riot Fest and Carnival will round out the night with after shows featuring Fu Manchu at Cobra Lounge, Bad Religion at Concord Music Hall, Thursday at Double Door and Black Foxxes at Township.

 

The Festival will wrap up on Sunday with the final performance by Motion City Soundtrack at Double Door before they disband and Swingin’ Utters and Off With Their Heads at Cobra Lounge.

Full line-ups and ticket links are below. Tickets go on sale Friday, 8/19 at 10:00 AM CDT
