By Ace Hartmann | Racketeer Broadcast Association  |

Tickets are now available as the three-day RiotFest has announced this years’ lineup and events as Riotfest moves the weekend festival from Douglas Park to Seatgeek Stadium in Bridgeview, IL. September 20th – 22nd. Over at Riotfest.org, you will see this year RiotFest has created a theme park-like map that looks to encompass many events from, RiotLand’s only gay dance nightclub to whats claimed as ‘The best damn arcade in Chicago’ to the Rathole, a Riot Fest Historical Society, an organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of ‘totally real and important things and interesting’. Get more details and information of all the commodities RiotLand has to offer at Riotfest.org
