"Lollapalooza and Pitchfork are the two big summer music festivals, but for a lot of people, the slightly smaller Riot Fest is the best of them all. The music leans toward punk and metal, but it books hip-hop, alternative, and plenty of artists in other genres as well. There’s usually at least a few reunion tours and nostalgic performances of full albums by classic bands. The festival was moved away from Humboldt Park due to some conflicts with the park and neighborhood and now takes place in Douglas Park on the South Side every September.When: September" - MATADOR_NETWORK
