RIOT FEST LINE-UP FEATURES SNOOP DOGG, ICE CUBE, CYPRESS HILL AND MORE!!!

Chicago’s Riot Fest & Carnival has announced it’s first wave of bands to play its flagship festival on Sept. 11-13, 2015 in Douglas Park.  Three-Day passes for the event are now on sale.

 After a fierce battle with Chicago Alderman Roberto Maldonado (26th Ward) and some neighbors in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, Riot Festival & Carnival uprooted and relocated to Douglas Park bringing the 3-day festival to the Lawndale community. From the looks of it, this year’s line-up features one of the most diverse and an incredible showcase for the ‘real’ music lovers.

For those unfamiliar with the festival just think…Lollapoolaza meets the Ultra Music Festival with a stop at A3C Music Festival on the way to SxSW.
