Riot Fest Puts Festival Lineup On Beer Cans (Chicago, IL) – Riot Fest 2019 is returning to Chicago’s Douglas Park this weekend (Sept 13-15). And along with a great roster that includes talent like Flaming Lips, The Raconteurs, Patti Smith and Blink-182, comes a pale ale with the world’s first festival schedule wrapped around the beer.
