Riot Fest Ends Early as Chicago Braces for More Rain
TL;DR
Riot Fest at Douglass Park will end early Saturday as rain and a flood watch loom over Chicago; several sets were shortened or moved (Afroman’s 8 p.m. slot cut, Bright Eyes moved to 6:30 p.m.), and all headliners that were to start after 8 p.m. were shifted to 6:30 p.m. at the latest, with every act wrapping by 7:30 p.m. Sunday's schedule remains unchanged despite more rain and storms forecast and a flood watch through Sunday morning.
