Riot Fest reveals 2015 daily schedule

July 21--Riot Fest organizers unveiled the West Side festival's daily lineup Tuesday, with No Doubt headlining the first day and Modest Mouse and Snoop Dogg closing out the three-day fest.

Single-day and two-day tickets will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. for Riot Fest, which will be held Sept. 11-13 in its new home of Douglas Park in the North Lawndale community.

Festival organizers recently announced the move from Humboldt Park after residents there complained about disruptions to the community and the condition of the park after the fest. Three-day passes for $189.98 and VIP passes for $299.98 are available now on the Riot Fest website.

Groupon on Monday morning gave a sneak peek to the daily lineup and began selling single-day tickets for $49.98. Hours later, the price of the Groupon jumped $20 to $69.98 after Groupon fixed a "pricing error," Riot Fest spokeswoman Heather West said.

A Groupon representative didn't return Tribune requests for comment. The Groupons are for sale until Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. A limit of eight Groupons can be purchased per person.

Riot Fest organizers announced a preliminary list of performers in May. An estimated 160,000 concertgoers attended Riot Fest over the three days last year.
