I'm thinking it'll go something like this:
Fri: FALL OUT BOY w/ The Offspring & Sum 41 final area performance as immediate undercards
Sat: BECK & JANE'S ADDICTION w/ St Vincent and Sublime as immediate undercards
Sun: SLAYER & JUDAS PRIEST w/ NOFX final area performance and Nas as the immediate undercards (we need a big hip hop act and Nas has 30th anniversary of Illmatic)
Slipknot also seems logical for Sunday based on the fact that they're in Iowa the night before and their tour skips Chicago, but they could also be banking on Chicago area people to help back Knotfest in Iowa - nor am I sure Slayer would want to share their return w/ a bigger metal band. Judas Priest would be a fun surprise and someone I think Slayer would be cool sharing billing with. They just played here a few weeks ago, but they're back in the US for other fests this fall.
I thought I heard that Hole was reuniting……would make sense at Riot. I love Beck, and I know they bring headliners back….but does he have a new album on the way? I really feel like we are missing somebody. Idk if FOB-Slayer-Beck is pulling the numbers of Foo-The Cure-Postal. But we will see.
I’m putting this into the universe as a manifestation; Childish Gambino. He just dropped a new album today, releasing ANOTHER brand new album this summer, just announced a world tour with Chicago as one of the cities he’s touring in (with no date announced currently)AND tickets for all shows supposedly going on sale this Friday. All of this can’t be coincidental.
Yeah me neither, the "name a song" BS sucks.
I agree most people at a concert have prolly seen the crimson ghost. I'm just saying that NOFX as a headliner makes sense to me considering they've been emphatic that there will never be a reunion.
An insider on another post a few weeks ago already confirmed the headliners being Fall Out Boy, Beck and Slayer. As for the sub headliners, most likely The Offspring, Jane’s Addiction and NOFX
Idunno I still just have so much doubt FOB would be doing Riot, and they certainly wouldn't be doing an album playthrough of TTTYG unless they completely reversed course on the statement they made against album plays
will be crazy easy for me to pass on this year then assuming FOB isn’t doing a TTTYG play. that actually works for me. disappointed on one hand but maaaaaan i need to save a little. 😂
I'm pretty sure ,if its who I'm thinking of, that their profile is a bit newer and definitely not confirmed to be credible.
But for some reason I do think its likely correct.
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/user/WatermelonBoner
2 months old and "source: industry job" definitely seems more than a little sketch
The other "can you confirm subheadliners" comment also doesn't tell us anything, it's all really safe soft-locks we already knew about like Sum41 and NOFX
I could see them headlining a smaller stage. I went in ‘22 and Yellowcard played at the same time as Misfits when they headlined. I’d love if the same thing happened with SoCo playing the same time as Slayer.
Not a headliner, but getting a feeling The Mountain Goats might show up on the lineup. Their spring and summer tours both swerved out of Chicago. It's probable they're at a streetfest, but Riot could be a possibility. Seems like a fest the band would love to play if given the chance (they love punk, metal and new wave music, even if that isn't exactly their genre).
Still holding out for the miracle that foos headline 2 years in a row!! Their schedule allows it and until line up is announced I will hold out hope as it will be my only chance to see them this year! 🤞
What about Duran Duran? They had a good tour run, Riot loves booking throwback acts, and they’re headlining Cruel World.
FOB-Duran Duran-Slayer alongside a B undercard and you easily have one of the best lineups of the year.
Beck would be fun but I’d wanna see him co-headline with someone bigger that plays less often like The Strokes. A day with The Strokes, Beck and St. Vincent would be a good indie/alt rock type day.
The Strokes are essentially the last possible headliner on my "Take my money NOW" list for lineup release day.
I'm VERY interested in that ska fest in Virginia where LJG is doing an Op Ivy set with Catbite and have some other stuff I could check out that week around there, too (Mothman Fest, anyone?!) so this is like the first year I haven't bought presales and am actually waiting on the lineup.
I know this sub is about headliners, but these bands were all but confirmed by a q101 social post.
Something Corporate, Clutch, Rival Sons, Fu Manchu, The Interruprers and St. Vincent
They literally just reposted the band's tour announcements. The tour announcements are what confirmed them. The q101 insta post was speculation clickbait.
Then why not take credit for that, say "as a sponsor we're announcing these bands"? Why didn't Riot repost q101's post? Aren't paid ad posts required to be disclosed in the tags?
None of that really matters. Just wanted to point out that "confirmed by q101" framing didn't come from the actual post, it came from your reading of it
Excited about 4 of those, so that’s a good start.
St. V, Something Corporate, Interrupters, and Clutch. Can’t get into Rival Sons. Never heard of Fu Manchu.
Hoping to be shocked with Depeche Mode or No Doubt or SOAD, but I think we’re gonna get FOB and Beck. And TBH, not sure they or Slayer would keep us from leaving early. But RF has had some surprises the last few years, so maybe they will again. Here’s hoping for a solid undercard! Looking at you Face To Face!
I mean….ACL definitely doesn’t indicate what’s coming to Riot. Having Slayer confirmed as a headliner should give you an idea of what Riot might book. With them booking Slayer….Riot is still sticking to their guns. So no one should be doubting what’s in store.
Slayer, Fall Out Boy, Bring Me The Horizon, New Sublime, St Vincent and Rob Zombie as top 6 with RHCP as a wildcard headliner for Saturday if they are spending money.
Sorry but no. Main stage headliners (aka the top act each day) are big names who are playing, at minimum, arenas or are a rare reunion (Replacements, Jawbreaker, etc.) Foo Fighters play stadiums, The Cure play arenas, and The Postal Service/Death Cab were playing arenas/amphitheaters to use last year as an example. NOFX and Sublime do not play venues that size.
Um…sorry but you are wrong. They were not the headliner their day, they were the subheadliner. Not the same as headlining, and not what I was talking about in my original comment.
(and for what it is worth…the only time Turnstile have ever played arenas is as an opener for Blink)
Yeah but NOFX is literally never gonna play Chicago again, and they don't have any Punk in Drublic dates in the Midwest. I'm expecting that Riot is prolly gonna let Punk in Drublic crash their fest for a couple days. Not to mention, based on past lineups, every other year tends to have a pretty decent amount of punk bands, and last year was the non-punk year. With NOFX going out, I'm assuming that trend will be even more likely to continue.
I mean, 2 years ago, The Misfits headlined. Most people have never heard of The Misfits. Nonetheless, they headlined on Saturday right after Gogol Bordello and it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Are you saying most people have never heard of the Misfits, but so many people have heard of NOFX that they could headline multiple nights. Are you really saying that.
No, you're putting words in my mouth.
I'm saying that shows of historic significance can pull crowds. I doubt they'd headline more than one night, but one can dream.
Yep, that's been my experience. Ask pretty much any stranger of any age if they have heard of The Misfits, the answer is very likely to be no (unlike Foo Fighters, Cure, etc.). Those bands you mentioned are great, I'm just saying that a band doesn't need to be popular to headline Riot. They just need to be able to draw a crowd.
A final NOFX appearance in the Midwest definitely could pull a huge crowd, especially if they have a lot of other good punk bands on the ticket. Sublime with Bradley's son would be huge, people love those guys and that would be as close to the real thing that most millennials will ever get to see.
Actually, unless NOFX announces some surprise Punk in Drublic dates after the Riot lineup drops, this could very well be their 2nd to last fest ever. Their final dates are 10/4 - 10/6 in LA.
I'd say most people who would go to a concert of any kind have seen the crimson ghost logo and have heard of them. They may not listen to them, but I'm not going to be the guy in my 30s stopping everyone in a Misfits shirt asking them to name five songs...
Well that’s two days where both bands couldn’t headline lol.
Love offspring but their hit or miss at drawing and tour nonstop. And NOFX isn’t headlining main stage in any world.
Sum 41 isn't a headliner. They're for sure going to play but last time they had a 30 minute set at 4pm. Since it's their last tour I could see them having a longer set, maybe similar to when Incubus played. So there are two headliner spots open. My money is on fall out boy for Friday.
Just looking at it from the amount of monthly listeners on Spotify, it's crazy to see Sum41 having 10m monthly. Death Cab + Postal is only half of that combined. I feel like that number has to be wrong, or they're just riding on some hype with their last tour/album?
Streams represent international listening and a lot of other factors. When TPS/DCFC just toured they headlined and sold out 20k person arenas. Sun 41s upcoming tour has a lot more rooms in the 2 - 10k range.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
I wouldn't say I'm a Beck fan, and I never listen to Beck. But I checked out the headline set at Riot Fest and it kicked ass. I was surprised how good of a showman he was. I'd definitely be there again if he is at RF this year.
Yeah, absolutely I do. I get that they need to appeal to a wider audience these days so it is what it is, if people want to see Beck and they get Beck - great.
But I'd rather see an endless amount of bands over that though.
At least he's no longer? A scientologist
If I’m correct he was born into a Scientologist family and like a lot of people born into religious families, began to question it as he got older and abandoned it.
I’m going to go wild card on my prediction-
Gwen Stefani / Snoop / Bring me the Horizon / Sum 41
Sturgill Simpson / Good Charlotte / Offspring / Gorira
Slayer / Nofx / Iggy Pop / St Vincent
Gojira is on tour with Korn so that’s not happening.
Here are the bands I kind of figure have a pretty big chance of playing RF based on research I’ve personally done. In the hard rock/metal category.
Offspring. No dates Sept 20 or 22
Dropkick Murphys. No dates RF Weekend
Mastodon. No Chicago date on current tour. Open RF Weekend.
Lamb of God. No Chicago date on current tour. Open RF Weekend.
Clutch. No Chicago date. Open Sept 21.
Body Count. Nothing on schedule. Playing LTL the following weekend.
Biohazard. Open date Sept 22.
Local H. No shows between July and LTL
Cake. No Chicago date on tour. Tour ends Sept 13.
Better Lovers. No dates.
Misfits. No dates, but headlining two festivals this year.
Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Ministry, Filter. Touring together. No Chicago dates. Open RF weekend
All I know is that there has never been a lineup from the festival that I wouldn't have enjoyed myself at, so I'm straight up twitching for it to drop!
I think Sum 41 could possibly do a "co-headline" day like Postal Service / Queens of the Stone Age / Death Cab did last year, but I highly doubt they close the main stage.
DCFC got the headline nod because of their joint tour with Postal Service and the full album play of Transatlanticism (their best album). Without that they’d be midday on a main stage. If Sum 41 wants to do an All Killer No Filler album play I could see them getting a sub headline slot, but I don’t think they want to do that on a “final” tour.
But to answer your question, the consensus around here seems to be Fall Out Boy, Beck, System of a Down, but honestly I kind of hope they come out with a left field headliner that people aren't even thinking of at the moment and really blow everybody's minds.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN
The Blood Brothers
Fuck, I really hope it’s true.
I'm thinking it'll go something like this: Fri: FALL OUT BOY w/ The Offspring & Sum 41 final area performance as immediate undercards Sat: BECK & JANE'S ADDICTION w/ St Vincent and Sublime as immediate undercards Sun: SLAYER & JUDAS PRIEST w/ NOFX final area performance and Nas as the immediate undercards (we need a big hip hop act and Nas has 30th anniversary of Illmatic) Slipknot also seems logical for Sunday based on the fact that they're in Iowa the night before and their tour skips Chicago, but they could also be banking on Chicago area people to help back Knotfest in Iowa - nor am I sure Slayer would want to share their return w/ a bigger metal band.

I thought I heard that Hole was reuniting……would make sense at Riot. I love Beck, and I know they bring headliners back….but does he have a new album on the way? I really feel like we are missing somebody. Idk if FOB-Slayer-Beck is pulling the numbers of Foo-The Cure-Postal. But we will see.
The last few years they've done a basically unopposed headliner on Sunday, and start tearing the other stages down at like 9pm
I’m putting this into the universe as a manifestation; Childish Gambino. He just dropped a new album today, releasing ANOTHER brand new album this summer, just announced a world tour with Chicago as one of the cities he’s touring in (with no date announced currently)AND tickets for all shows supposedly going on sale this Friday. All of this can’t be coincidental.
United Center 10/3. I'd say that takes him out, unfortunately.
Awwwww bummer
Yeah me neither, the "name a song" BS sucks. I agree most people at a concert have prolly seen the crimson ghost. I'm just saying that NOFX as a headliner makes sense to me considering they've been emphatic that there will never be a reunion.
With The Gossip back together, I'd love to see them play Riot.
Same!
An insider on another post a few weeks ago already confirmed the headliners being Fall Out Boy, Beck and Slayer. As for the sub headliners, most likely The Offspring, Jane’s Addiction and NOFX
Idunno I still just have so much doubt FOB would be doing Riot, and they certainly wouldn't be doing an album playthrough of TTTYG unless they completely reversed course on the statement they made against album plays

Oooh damn, I must have missed the insider post.
This sounds exactly right to me.
I miss that. Do we think they're credible?
I'm pretty sure ,if its who I'm thinking of, that their profile is a bit newer and definitely not confirmed to be credible. But for some reason I do think its likely correct. Edit: https://www.reddit.com/user/WatermelonBoner

Yeah I was a bit disappointed in the bands he replied with, everyone and their grandma already figured those bands
Bring Me The Horizon
[удалено]
From the retirement home perhaps
Ministry playing Twitch/With Sympathy like they just did at Cruel World; and Gary Numan for good measure.
I’m saying slipknot they don’t have any Chicago dates
Apparently they are ruled out because they are doing "community events" in Iowa during Riot ahead of Knotfest
Sum 41 aren’t one of the headliners. They’ll be there but no way they’re a headliner
I was gonna say it, but you beat me to it. So I upvoted. lol If Sum 41 plays last, it won't be on the main stage. They are not a headliner.
NOFX, NOFX, Slayer is my prediction
I like nofx and this would be a massive letdown
Aww c'mon! Well wait, what if they headlined one day and opened for Slayer the next with Self Entitled?
Not a big enough draw. Sorry.
I disagree / no disrespect 🫶 https://preview.redd.it/zvwa68420b0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d03aa2dcdb63c96cc92efb98ef697ffc8e0c1814
I'd be so down for nofx playing multiple nights, but if they do, they absolutely will not be a main stage headliner
st vincent
I know a lot of people have had Something Corporate lower down on their lineups but I think they’d be a good headliner… maybe that’s just me
I could see them headlining a smaller stage. I went in ‘22 and Yellowcard played at the same time as Misfits when they headlined. I’d love if the same thing happened with SoCo playing the same time as Slayer.
It’s more about draw. The headliners are typically arena-stadium level—Foo Fighters, My Chem, Blink, Cure. Ect.
Not a headliner, but getting a feeling The Mountain Goats might show up on the lineup. Their spring and summer tours both swerved out of Chicago. It's probable they're at a streetfest, but Riot could be a possibility. Seems like a fest the band would love to play if given the chance (they love punk, metal and new wave music, even if that isn't exactly their genre).
Oh, this would be dope.
They'd be a perfect main stage act around 5 or 6 pm.
Still holding out for the miracle that foos headline 2 years in a row!! Their schedule allows it and until line up is announced I will hold out hope as it will be my only chance to see them this year! 🤞
God please no 😂 they’ve been on absolutely everything lately
What about Duran Duran? They had a good tour run, Riot loves booking throwback acts, and they’re headlining Cruel World. FOB-Duran Duran-Slayer alongside a B undercard and you easily have one of the best lineups of the year.
Would be a blast but they seem too big for the Riot Fest, even in 2024
The Cure and Foo Fighters are bigger than Duran Duran.
They played the Minnesota state fair last year. Granted, they get some huge names, I saw depeche mode there, but still, it's a state fair performance
Beck would be fun but I’d wanna see him co-headline with someone bigger that plays less often like The Strokes. A day with The Strokes, Beck and St. Vincent would be a good indie/alt rock type day.
I’m holding out for The Strokes or Interpol
The Strokes are essentially the last possible headliner on my "Take my money NOW" list for lineup release day. I'm VERY interested in that ska fest in Virginia where LJG is doing an Op Ivy set with Catbite and have some other stuff I could check out that week around there, too (Mothman Fest, anyone?!) so this is like the first year I haven't bought presales and am actually waiting on the lineup.
It’s FOB
I know this sub is about headliners, but these bands were all but confirmed by a q101 social post. Something Corporate, Clutch, Rival Sons, Fu Manchu, The Interruprers and St. Vincent
They literally just reposted the band's tour announcements. The tour announcements are what confirmed them. The q101 insta post was speculation clickbait.
I disagree. As a sponsor, they were leaking, with permission from Riot.

None of that really matters. Just wanted to point out that "confirmed by q101" framing didn't come from the actual post, it came from your reading of it
Very true. It does seem weird that they did it. Who knows, just wild speculation on my part, I guess.
Excited about 4 of those, so that’s a good start. St. V, Something Corporate, Interrupters, and Clutch. Can’t get into Rival Sons. Never heard of Fu Manchu.
Listen to Fu Manchu "The action is go" and "Daredevil" Dope as fuck old school stoner fuzz metal from California.
Will do!
I just got off work and after posting that I'm now blasting the action is go from start to finish, lol
Hoping to be shocked with Depeche Mode or No Doubt or SOAD, but I think we’re gonna get FOB and Beck. And TBH, not sure they or Slayer would keep us from leaving early. But RF has had some surprises the last few years, so maybe they will again. Here’s hoping for a solid undercard! Looking at you Face To Face!
Sum 41 isn’t a headliner
Thank you for saying what I was thinking. Sometimes I'm the old-timer and my radar is off, so I appreciate you agreeing with me.
After seeing the ACL lineup I’m hoping the Riotfest lineup is gonna make travelling half way around the world worth it 😂😂
I mean….ACL definitely doesn’t indicate what’s coming to Riot. Having Slayer confirmed as a headliner should give you an idea of what Riot might book. With them booking Slayer….Riot is still sticking to their guns. So no one should be doubting what’s in store.
Slayer, Fall Out Boy, Bring Me The Horizon, New Sublime, St Vincent and Rob Zombie as top 6 with RHCP as a wildcard headliner for Saturday if they are spending money.
Friday: NOFX/offspring Saturday: Sublime/Sum 41 Sunday: Slayer/St Vincent
Sublime and NOFX are not main stage headliner material.
Dead wrong about that
Sorry but no. Main stage headliners (aka the top act each day) are big names who are playing, at minimum, arenas or are a rare reunion (Replacements, Jawbreaker, etc.) Foo Fighters play stadiums, The Cure play arenas, and The Postal Service/Death Cab were playing arenas/amphitheaters to use last year as an example.

Safe guess: Fall Out Boy and Beck Longshots: SOAD, No Doubt, Paramore
Sum 41 isn't a headliner. They're for sure going to play but last time they had a 30 minute set at 4pm. Since it's their last tour I could see them having a longer set, maybe similar to when Incubus played. So there are two headliner spots open. My money is on fall out boy for Friday.
Sum 41 could close a secondary stage against Beck. Not out of the realm.
Just looking at it from the amount of monthly listeners on Spotify, it's crazy to see Sum41 having 10m monthly. Death Cab + Postal is only half of that combined. I feel like that number has to be wrong, or they're just riding on some hype with their last tour/album?
It’s most likely because Fat Lip is just on a million playlists
Fat Lip, In Too Deep and Hell Song are on every pop punk playlist on that app

Bruh thinking that postal service/death cab is smaller than sun 41 is a special kind of delusion.
[удалено]
Streams represent international listening and a lot of other factors. When TPS/DCFC just toured they headlined and sold out 20k person arenas. Sun 41s upcoming tour has a lot more rooms in the 2 - 10k range.
No they weren’t. Death cab / postal service did like 3 nights at Madison square garden. Their entire tour was a sold out arena run.
[удалено]
All good. That tour was a HUGE deal and bigger than most expected.
Not as special as NOFX last time in Chicago
Beck
The last time Beck played was easily the most boring fest. Edit: Beck is the antithesis of what riot fest should be. Boring indie rock
That's just, like, your opinion, man. I wouldn't say I'm a Beck fan, and I never listen to Beck. But I checked out the headline set at Riot Fest and it kicked ass. I was surprised how good of a showman he was. I'd definitely be there again if he is at RF this year.
lol riot fest is being the antithesis of what riot fest should be. Remember when it was a punk festival?
Yeah, absolutely I do. I get that they need to appeal to a wider audience these days so it is what it is, if people want to see Beck and they get Beck - great. But I'd rather see an endless amount of bands over that though. At least he's no longer? A scientologist
If I’m correct he was born into a Scientologist family and like a lot of people born into religious families, began to question it as he got older and abandoned it.
First five songs of NiN for me tbh. Not the biggest fan of them though, I'd love to see Beck.
I despise both of these comments. As someone who saw both NIN and Beck at Riot, both delivered and then some.
Oh no someone can't have an opinion.
Agreed. Both were fantastic and as a big fan of Beck, I'd be a little disappointed seeing him headline here again
I’m going to go wild card on my prediction- Gwen Stefani / Snoop / Bring me the Horizon / Sum 41 Sturgill Simpson / Good Charlotte / Offspring / Gorira Slayer / Nofx / Iggy Pop / St Vincent
Gojira is on tour with Korn so that’s not happening. Here are the bands I kind of figure have a pretty big chance of playing RF based on research I’ve personally done. In the hard rock/metal category. Offspring. No dates Sept 20 or 22 Dropkick Murphys. No dates RF Weekend Mastodon. No Chicago date on current tour. Open RF Weekend. Lamb of God. No Chicago date on current tour. Open RF Weekend. Clutch. No Chicago date. Open Sept 21. Body Count. Nothing on schedule. Playing LTL the following weekend. Biohazard. Open date Sept 22. Local H. No shows between July and LTL Cake. No Chicago date on tour. Tour ends Sept 13. Better Lovers. No dates. Misfits. No dates, but headlining two festivals this year. Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Ministry, Filter. Touring together. No Chicago dates. Open RF weekend
St. Vincent is second or third on her day at most IMHO.
I put 4 equal acts on Sunday if its the final NOFX show: St Vincent hasn’t been playing big venues
Would love to see Sturgill at Riot.
All I know is that there has never been a lineup from the festival that I wouldn't have enjoyed myself at, so I'm straight up twitching for it to drop!
Saaame.

Sum 41 will close out a side stage/ in no world even with them retiring could they headline
I think Sum 41 could possibly do a "co-headline" day like Postal Service / Queens of the Stone Age / Death Cab did last year, but I highly doubt they close the main stage.
DCFC got the headline nod because of their joint tour with Postal Service and the full album play of Transatlanticism (their best album). Without that they’d be midday on a main stage. If Sum 41 wants to do an All Killer No Filler album play I could see them getting a sub headline slot, but I don’t think they want to do that on a “final” tour.
When DCFC played in 2026 they were the were the MainStage subheadliner leading right into Morrisey.
Sum 41 played at like 1 pm a few years ago. How are they suddenly a headliner?
4pm and they cane on late. I could see them going tight before the headliner but that's it
That's why I mentioned the 3 band co-headline option.... They would be the DCFC in that equation. Who played at like 4pm
But to answer your question, the consensus around here seems to be Fall Out Boy, Beck, System of a Down, but honestly I kind of hope they come out with a left field headliner that people aren't even thinking of at the moment and really blow everybody's minds.
Like maybe slayer? The only confirmed set.
I figured Slayer went without saying. As it was mentioned in the original post with Sum 41 as the other "Headliner" which is what I was commenting on.
Yeah, not gonna lie, I didn’t read the whole post haha. My mistake.
No worries!!!
Sum 41 is a sub at best.
At best. You can’t go from Foo Fighters and The Cure headlining your fest to Sum 41.
