Riot Fest 20th Anniversary BANGS with Blink-182, Weezer, Green Day
HOLY LINEUP, JOHN STAMOS! Riot Fest 2025 is also the celebratory 20th Anniversary show, and they did NOT MISS with this lineup that is set to take the stage at Douglass Park on September 19-21.
The bands and artists slated to play are who we’d hoped with the teasers that Riot Fest dropped, and then some!
The top tier includes Blink-182, Weezer, and Green Day, along with Sex Pistols (Frank Carter), Jack White, and IDLES.
Next on the roster is Alkaline Trio (which we’d be willing to bet there may be an appearance of Matt Skiba during the Blink-182 set), All Time Low, Rilo Kiley, Knocked Loose, The Beach Boys (which we’re assuming includes John Stamos), Jawbreaker, Dropkick Murphys, Bad Religion, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Some other standouts include The Front Bottoms, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, Hanson, The Bouncing Souls, Citizen, Senses Fail, Militarie Gun, Helmet, The Ataris, Lambrini Girls, Julia Wolf, and many more.
This is a do-not-miss, as we assume there will also be tons of activations on the property over the weekend and returning sponsors like Ghost Energy.
We can’t wait to see all the stops they pull out for this year’s fest (and surely hope we will be there to capture it all). Check out the full poster here:
