The Riot Fest Late Night Schedule Is Here

The Riot Fest Late Night Schedule Is Here

August 15, 2017 (September 7, 2018) // Riot Fest

The Riot Fest party doesn’t end at 10:00pm. Riot Fest Late Night shows have been announced!

Kicking things off on Thursday, September 14th—before the festival is in full-swing—will be Chicago’s acclaimed punks, The Orwells, entertaining a packed House of Vans at this free-with-RSVP show, as well as a pit stop at Cobra Lounge from Riot Fest alumni The Queers and The Ataris. GBH, Buzzcocks and Hot Water Music, will be squeezing into Cobra Lounge; New Found Glory, Bayside and Gogol Bordello will rock Concord Music Hall, and Bottom Lounge will become an indie rock lover’s paradise with Cap’n Jazz on Friday night, as well as a special Saturday night co-headline show with Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill. Then, Taking Back Sunday will do just that as this perennial Riot Fest band wraps things up on Sunday night.
