Since 2005, Riot Fest has been the place to see punk rock luminaries get the band together and play a show for thousands of fans. Their idiosyncratic lineups, which marry classic punk, pop-punk, emo, hardcore, and some industrial, rap, and pop for good measure, is one of the few places you’ll see Bauhaus share the stage with Yellowcard. This year’s no exception as Bauhaus and Yellowcard are but two of the acts making their way to the Windy City for another Riot Fest.

Running from September 16 to September 18 in Chicago, Riot Fest will host more than 100 acts across five stages. Leading the charge, My Chemical Romance will headline Friday; The Misfits performing their classic debut, Walk Among Us, on Saturday; and Nine Inch Nails will close out the fest on Sunday.

But wait, there’s more! Indie rock legends Yeah Yeah Yeahs, goth legends Bauhaus, and emo legends Sunny Day Real Estate will make their Riot Fest debut this year. Sure, an SDRE reunion sounds cool, but what if aging millennials want to relieve their Y2K pop-punk glory days. Well, you’re in luck. Yellowcard, The Academy Is…, and Midtown will all reunite at Riot Fest too.

And that’s barely half of it. Portugal. The Man, Placebo, Jeff Rosenstock, Descendents, Ice Cube, Action Bronson, Alkaline Trio, and Bad Religion are also set to play. So if you haven’t found something you like, just look a little harder.

1-Day, 2-Day, 3-Day passes go on sale at RiotFest.org this morning at 10 a.m. CST.
