Who needs sleep… when you have live music? To keep you up all night, we’ve got the full schedule of our 2024 Late Night shows! Tickets are on sale NOW. Some shows are already sold out, and others have low ticket warnings.
Shows start Wednesday with Sum 41 with support from Drug Church and Many Eyes at Concord, and St. Vincent playing Metro. Then, kick off your Riot Fest weekend early Thursday night and see New Found Glory with Sincere Engineer at Salt Shed or The Chisel with The Crosses at Reggies. To kick off Riot Fest Friday night we’ve got five late night shows, including sets from Spoon, Basement, The Lemonheads, Spiritual Cramp, and Buzzcocks. Also that night, Electric Feels, an Indie Rock + Indie Dance party is coming to Concord Hall.
Saturday will keep you up all night with an additional six aftershows, featuring Hot Mulligan, Cursive with Anthony Green, Something Corporate with Allister, Laura Jane Grace with Catbite, and GEL with MSPAINT and Destiny Bond.
Saturday artist Dr. Oliver Tree will be performing a DJ set at Outset, and Emo Night Brooklyn will return to Chicago at House of Blues. Wrapping up the festival weekend, Sunday’s shows include Cobra Skulls with Direct Hit!, 2ManyDJs, and Manchester Orchestra with Militarie Gun.
Even after reading all of that, you might still be wondering: what the heck is a Riot Fest Late Night Aftershow? It’s what we do after kicking you all out of the festival grounds each day: we host after shows across the city, celebrating some of our favorite bands every night with a handful of very special shows. Plus, it’s a rare opportunity to see your favorite artists underplay in smaller and more intimate venues, meaning these are definitely not shows you want to miss. Grab your aftershow tickets quickly as they will sell out quickly!
