Hell Awaits this September in Chicago! Continuing a long history of reuniting fan-favorite bands and artists, Riot Fest has just unveiled its first headliner for their 2024 flagship festival – a Midwest exclusive performance by metal stalwarts, SLAYER. While many more bands are still to be announced for the 3-day event slated for September 20-22, this reunion is sure to excite both longtime fans who will get the chance to revel once more, and newcomers who thought they’d never get the opportunity to witness the force that is Slayer.

Founded in 2005, Riot Fest has presented nearly 20 years of incredible musical performances, exclusive reunions, and more—including sideshow attractions, Lucha Libre, panel discussions and late night shows, creating unique annual weekend experiences in one of the world’s greatest cities. For 2024, along with the return of carnival rides and last year’s hugely popular wedding chapel, Logan Arcade will be on hand with free vintage arcade games, hosted by Riot Pop!!
