The daily schedules have been released for the 2026 ‘Riot Fest‘, and fans of 90s music are potentially in for some scheduling conflicts when it comes to headliners. Multi-platinum alternative metal stars Tool‘s set will directly conflict with a performance from hip-hop legend Nas on September 19th. Multi-platinum post-hardcore band Pierce The Veil will also directly conflict with juggalo ringleaders Insane Clown Posse and Elvis Costello on the closing date. 95-year-old ‘Star Trek‘ legend William Shatner, who will be making his live debut with his metal band at the event, fortunately fares pretty well as far as conflicts go.
Hot Rod Circuit and Destroy Boys however have the unenviable task of facing off against masked Canadian psych rock duo Angine de Poitrine, who have picked up considerable buzz throughout 2026.
You can thumb through the complete schedule below, with this year’s festival booked for September 18th to 20th at Douglass Park in Chicago, IL.
