Riot Fest, the longtime Chicago music event centered around punk and rock, has unveiled its 2026 lineup. Alanis Morrisette, Morrissey, and Tool will headline, with Patti Smith & Her Band, Santigold, and Elvis Costello & the Imposters also topping the bill. The festival returns to its longtime home of Douglass Park from September 18-20.

Additional artists at this year’s event include Algernon Cadwallader, Angine de Poitrine, Chat Pile, This Is Lorelei, the Pixies, and Jejune—plus the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd (hopefully on different days). In total, the 2026 edition features over 100 artists; even Insane Clown Posse will be there.

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of Riot Fest. They celebrated the milestone by inviting headliners and bands from past lineup—including Blink-182, Green Day, and Weezer—to grace the multi-stage setup.
