After revealing that Riot Fest will be moving to the new location of Bridgeview, IL’s SeatGeek Stadium from its longtime home of Chicago’s Douglass Park, the festival has now announced its 2024 lineup. They already revealed in February that the fest will be home to one of the select few reunion shows from Slayer, who headline Sunday, and the other headliners are Fall Out Boy on Friday and Beck and Pavement (their second-announced North American show of 2024) on Saturday. Other notable highlights include The Offspring playing Smash for its 30th anniversary, NOFX playing all three days (as part of their farewell tour), Public Enemy, Manchester Orchestra (playing Cope for its 10th anniversary), Mastodon (playing Leviathan for its 20th anniversary), Laura Jane Grace & Catbite (playing an Operation Ivy set), the reunited Something Corporate, the reunited Basement, the Marley Brothers (Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani, and Damian) playing Bob Marley, and more.
NOFX get their own stage and area, “NOFX World,” and they’ll be joined by the very NOFX-friendly lineup of Descendents, Circle Jerks, Pennywise, The Lawrence Arms, Face to Face, Buzzcocks, Dillinger Four, Lagwagon, The Vandals, ALL, Strung Out, The Dead Milkmen, D.O.A., Swingin Utters, the aforementioned Laura Jane Grace/Catbite Op Ivy set, and more on that stage.
