Riot Fest began in 2005 as a multi-venue festival in Chicago, featuring punk and rock bands. Over the years, it has evolved into a three-day event featuring some of the biggest names in alternative music. In addition to its impressive lineup, Riot Fest is known for its carnival-like atmosphere, with food vendors, a Ferris wheel, and other attractions.
General tickets are on sale as of 10:00 AM CT on Tuesday and can be purchased on tixr.com. GA, VIP, Deluxe, and Deluxe+ are available starting at $269.98, $349.99, $899.98, and $1,499.98, respectively.
