Outline
Riot Fest is a three-day music festival that takes place across 5 stages. It's held in Chicago's Douglass Park and it typically brings out veteran indie and alt-rock bands and artists, acts that have been big names for a while, mixing them with relatively lesser known ones. The emphasis is mostly on hard rock, hard hip-hop, metal, prog, punk, and other high energy bands and artists.
