Riot Fest Announces Late Night Shows

No Time for Rest Fest!

If you’ve been to Riot Fest, you know that exhaustion has no place in Chicago that weekend. From dragging your hungover ass to Douglas Park to watch your favorite band at 12:30 PM to standing in the sun all day (unless it’s pouring rain) to the after shows, there is no time for sleep because there is just too much to see.

That being said, Riot Fest has announced this year’s set of Late Night Shows that will take place after the festival ends nightly at 10 PM. They include more intimate sets from Taking Back Sunday, Dinosaur Jr., Buzzcocks, Hot Water Music, Gogol Bordello, and many more. There are also a few “Special Guest” spots listed on the lineups, which of course gives us all hope for Jawbreaker! Take a look at the nightly lineups below.
