The Riot Fest 2022 Lineup is here! The historic fest taking place in Douglass Park has returned for another year this September 16-18th, and with a solid lineup rock fans won’t want to miss. From headliners My Chemical Romance on Friday, to The Original Misfits on Saturday, and Nine Inch Nails on Sunday, this years lineup will also see performances from other well-known names like Alkaline Trio, Bleachers, Yungblud, Yellowcard, The Wonder Years, Jimmy Eat World, Boston Manor, PVRIS, The Front Bottoms, Pale Waves, and more. With more than 28 bands per day, Riot Fest remains one of the largest independently owned music festivals, and for good reason. This year’s lineup will see festival debuts from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Bauhaus, and the reunited Sunny Day Real Estate, to name three of the more than 85 acts slotted to play this year.
One, two, and three-day passes have all gone on sale on the Riot Fest website, as well as the VIP, Deluxe, and Ultimate upgrades.
