"We're not just coming home—we're coming back passionately, 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," Riot Fest founder Michael "Riot Mike" Petryshyn said in a statement.
Petryshyn said the decision to move back to Douglass Park came after a talk with Mayor Brandon Johnson.
