Punknews is a proud sponsor of Riot Fest this year and this weekend, September 13-15, is main event in Chicago. The set times have just been posted
and can be seen here.
We thought we'd highlight a few food gems to keep you nourished so you can have a full, happy belly when enjoying the likes of The Replacements, The
Pixies, Andrew WK, Dismemberment Plan, Bad Books, Lawrence Arms, Masked Intruder and more in Humboldt Park this weekend.
Trust, we realize that there is SO MUCH good food in the Windy City that this barely scratches the surface, but under Read More are eight of our
favorites. Feel free to add your pro tips in the comments. We'll see you in the pit (or probably more likely, in line at Hot Doug's).sentrand - 9-10-2013 at 01:08 AM

Heard a set by the Replacements...A little slower than years of yore,but the setlist was surprisingly good...REV.PAULIE - 9-10-2013 at 05:33 AM
my buddy brian (duane you know him) and I did riot fest some years back when cock sparrer played
chicago was so much fun (like driving around DC, but drinks like Baltimore).
Riot fest though... weird sour taste. It was OK, saw the bands i wanted, but they're was little concern for the people paying to see
The aggrolites at 2:30 in the morning was a blast... place called the subteranean?Jason the Magnificent - 9-10-2013 at 11:03 AM
That guide is decent, but I'd be apprehensive about going to places like Kumas on a weekend like that...or Hot Dougs...places like that have a 2 hr
wait during normal rush meal hours. Chicago Diner is pretty close too depending on the time.
Kumas pretty much is a 2hr wait all day/night unless you get in line 30 minutes before they open.
There's much less crowded and equally good substitutes, depending on what type of food you're looking for.Discipline - 9-10-2013 at 11:25 AM
I never even heard about the show in Toronto. Guess I'm even more out of the loop then I thought. Would have been cool to see the Replacements and
the Stooges.Six66Mike - 9-10-2013 at 10:54 PM
A few people I know went in Toronto & they all said The Replacements were excellent.
