Riot Fest 2018 Schedule: When To See Run The Jewels, Liz Phair

CHICAGO — Riot Fest is arguably Chicago's final, big-time music festival of the summer — getting in just under the wire with a few days to spare from the season's official end Sept. 22. This year's outdoor event showcases favorite contemporary acts, such as Run the Jewels and Father John Misty, with a bit of '90s flavor thanks to Weezer, Beck and Chicago native Liz Phair.

The three-day festival released its full schedule Tuesday. Along with the performances on five stages at Douglas Park, some musical acts will hit other Chicago venues to play special shows as part of Riot Fest Late Night.

Here's everything you need to know about this year's Riot Fest.

Riot Fest: The Basics

When: Friday, Sept. 14, to Sunday, Sept. 16.

Where: Douglas Park, 1401 S. Sacramento Drive

Cost: Single-day tickets run from $49.98 to $599.98. Three-day passes range from $129.98 to $1,499.98. Go to Event Brite to buy tickets and passes.

Taking Metra

Festival-goers can get off at Metra’s Western Avenue Station on its BNSF Line to get to Douglas Park. Extra stops will be made at Western Avenue on Friday evening and over the weekend.

Because of limited parking near the park, organizers urge festival-goers to either take public transportation, ride a bicycle or use a ride-share service. Riot Fest's main entrance is at West Ogden Avenue and Sacramento Drive. Festival-goers getting off at Western Avenue can walk west on 16th Street to California Avenue and north to Ogden, according to Metra.

A full schedule of BNSF service can be found at Metra's website.
