Riot Fest organizers announced the move in a statement on Wednesday:

Driven by the overwhelming support of the City of Chicago and our fans, we’re excited to announce that we are coming back home to Chicago and Douglass Park.

If there was no Chicago, there’d be no Riot Fest.

As we continue to build a long-term partnership with the City of Chicago, we remain focused on our shared vision of stability and growth in the neighborhood we call home. We deeply appreciate the support from Mayor Johnson, Alderwoman Scott, the Chicago Park District, and The North Lawndale and Little Village communities.

We’re not just coming home–we’re coming back stronger, with an even greater purpose and doubling down on our commitment to Chicago, our fans, and our community. Riot Fest was born and bred here; it’s where we belong.

The move back to downtown Chicago comes just two months after festival co-founder Mike “Riot Mike” Petryshyn announced plans to move the festival to SeatGeek, citing challenges in obtaining permits for the festival from Chicago city officials.

“Several weeks ago, I had enough. I was tired of Riot Fest continually being the lowest hanging fruit. I was tired of playing their games. I was tired of watching something I love being continually used to deflect away from their own internal deficits. This prevented us from giving us the experience you deserve.

“So, it became evident change was needed. Riot Fest will be leaving Douglass Park. And — allow me to be as clear as the azure sky of the deepest summer — our exodus is solely because of the Chicago Park District. Their lack of care for the community, you and us ultimately left us no choice.”

Riot Fest 2024 will take place at Chicago’s Douglass Park from September 20-22 with a lineup that includes Fall Out Boy, Beck, Pavement, Slayer, The Offspring, Public Enemy, and more.

According to the BBC, the incident occurred at the festival’s The Point stage during a performance by DJ Sammy Virji, which was ultimately canceled.

Witnesses reported being crushed against crowd barriers and local law enforcement officials stated that they were notified of a “crowd collapse” at the festival which “left a small number of attendees injured.”

Law enforcement officials said that despite initial reports, no one was killed in the incident and the injuries appeared to have been minor.

In a statement released on Saturday, Boardmasters organizers said seven people were transported to area hospitals for evaluation and have all since been discharged.

One of those victims, a 17-year-old girl named Elena, told the BBC that she suffered soft tissue damage to her foot during the incident and will be on crutches for several weeks.

She said she waited an hour for assistance after the crowd surge and was provided with bottled water and told to return to her tent by festival staff.

“They gave me a bottle of water but that was it,” she told the BBC. “They wouldn’t give me any paracetamol, ice packs – they ran out of everything.”

According to event organizers, the festival’s Point Stage was re-opened after a full review of the safety management process.

Following the incident, Cornwall’s local government announced plans to open an inquiry into the incident. A spokesperson for the local authority told the BBC that the Council’s public protection service was investigating but was unable to comment further while the investigation is ongoing, the BBC reported.

In a statement announcing the decision, organizers said: Bluesfest Byron Bay, Australia’s premier and most awarded music festival in Australia ever, proudly announces that the 2025 edition will be its final curtain call. After 35 years of celebrating the very best in Blues, Roots music, and Beyond, the legendary institution that has brought the world’s greatest artists to Australia, plus a whole bunch of our own, will host its last festival on the legendary Byron Events Farm, just outside of Byron Bay, NSW, Australia.

As the final chapter in Bluesfest’s iconic legacy approaches, fans are urged to be part of history. The first of many artist announcements for the 2025 festival, which promises to feature a lineup worthy of this momentous occasion, will be unveiled in one week. This is the last chance to experience the magic, the music, and the memories that have made Bluesfest a beloved institution, and we are expecting many of our greatest artist, plus a bunch of first timers to join us in the celebration, with a first artist announcement imminent.

Founded in 1990 by Dan Doeppel and Kevin Oxford, the festival annually features a slate of blues and roots performers, including both homegrown Australian performers and touring international artists.

Since 1995, the festival has been orchestrated by Peter Noble, who became the exclusive owner of the event in 2008.

“To my Dear Bluesfest Family, and after more than 50 years in the music business, Bluesfest has been a labor of love, a celebration of music, community, and the resilient spirit of our fans. But after the 2025 festival, as much as it pains me to say this, it’s time to close this chapter. As I said earlier this year at Bluesfest 2024, next years festival will be our last.. To my dear Bluesfest family, I want to make it the most unforgettable experience yet. If you’ve been thinking about it, now is your last chance to experience our beloved festival,” Noble said, announcing the decision.

Founded by Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren and guitarist Sylvain Demercastel, Savage Lands raises funds to restore forests and create sanctuaries free from human interference in Costa Rica.

The organization finances its work through song royalties, donations, and various fundraisers, as well as by building nature sanctuaries, establishing green zones and undertaking other land preservation projects.

Hellfest’s donation is part of a five-year partnership, with Savage Lands continuing to host a booth at the festival. The non-profit has protected 60,000 square feet of rainforest, funded entirely by music royalties.

Many notable musicians supported Savage Lands at Hellfest. Sylvain Demercastel was accompanied by Florian Pons (Loco Muerte), Poun and Etienne Treton (Black Bomb A), with special appearances by Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) and Daniel de Jongh (Textures) throughout their set. Chloe Trujillo and The Gathering’s Silje Wergeland also joined in.

For the grand finale, Savage Lands brought out Jesper Liveröd (Nasum), Alejandro Montoya (Cultura Tres), Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), and Shane Embury (Napalm Death).

“Our goals are within reach,” said Demercastel. “By converting the land we purchase into nature sanctuaries, Savage Lands sets a precedent for environmental activism. But time is of the essence. Ecosystems are still under threat, and if we don’t act swiftly, there may be no wildlife left to protect.”
