The Riot Fest 2023 Late Night Shows Are Here

Who needs sleep… when you have live music? To keep you up all night, we’ve got the full schedule of our 2023 Late Night shows! Tickets are on sale Thursday, August 10th.

Shows start Wednesday with Tegan and Sara, featuring Carlie Hanson, playing Bottom Lounge. Then, kick off your Riot Fest weekend early and see Bayside with Hawthorne Heights at Bottom Lounge on Thursday. Next up, for the first night of the fest, we have seven late night shows to choose from. Catch Friday’s sets from bands like PUP, Ride, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Nothing, High Vis and The Wrecks. Also that night, the Dannie Diesel Dope Show is coming to Reggies (it’ll be dope), along with Emo Night Brooklyn at House of Blues.

Saturday will keep you up all night with an additional eight aftershows, featuring The Interrupters with Fea, Godspeed You! the Black Emperor, The Black Angels with Convert, Kim Gordon, H2O and Plosivs with Hotline TNT. Performing the entirety of War All The Time, Thursday is taking the Metro stage with Braid. Wrapping up the weekend, Sunday’s shows include Sleeping with Sirens, Yard Act and The Bronx & Earth Crisis. At Aragon Ballroom, Danzig will be performing all of the classic first Danzig album, with Behemoth, Twin Temple and Midnight. You can also party with Gimme Gimme Disco at House of Blues.

Even after reading all of that, you might still be wondering: what the heck is a Riot Fest Late Night show? It’s what we do after kicking you all out of the festival grounds each day: we host aftershows across the city, celebrating some of our favorite bands every night with a handful of very special shows.
