CHICAGO — Tickets to Riot Fest after shows and two special shows before the fest begins go on sale Friday.

This year, organizers will kick off the festival with two special shows before the festival begins on Friday, Sept. 16. On the Wednesday before the fest, Sept. 14, punk rock legends Agent Orange will take the stage for an intimate performance at Cobra Lounge as scheduling didn't permit a Riot Fest performance. The next day, ska favorites The Specials will make a stop at Concord Music Hall. 

After Friday shows at Riot Fest, Dillinger Escape Plan, whose members recently announced they are disbanding, will play Cobra Lounge; Basement, Citizen and Turnover take the stage at Double Door; and Taking Back Sunday will play an exclusive show at Metro.

Fu Manchu will play Cobra Lounge the Saturday night of the fest; Bad Religion at Concord Music Hall; Thursday at Double Door; and Black Foxxes at Township.

The festival wraps up on Sunday, Sept. 18 with the final performance by Motion City Soundtrack at Double Door before they disband and Swingin’ Utters and Off With Their Heads at Cobra Lounge.

Tickets to Riot Fest special pre-fest performances and after shows go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday. 

Single day and multi-day tickets to Riot Fest in Douglas Park are still available but are going fast, organizers said. Single day tickets are currently on sale for $85 and three-day tickets for $210. Check out the full Riot Fest lineup here.
