“Riot Fest has built its legacy on reunions — from the Replacements to the Misfits to Jawbreaker — giving fans moments they thought they’d never see. For its 20th anniversary, the festival is bringing that spirit home, reuniting Chicago’s most beloved meteorologist with the forecast itself as a tribute to the city where it all began,” a statement from the festival said. “For 45 years, Chicagoans turned to Tom Skilling for forecasts delivered with both expertise and charm, building an endearing bond that lasted generations. Though he’s now enjoying retirement and splitting his time in Hawaii, Skilling will return — via video link — to deliver the official forecast for Riot Fest 2025.”

Riot Fest take place Friday to Sunday in Chicago’s Douglass Park. Three-day general admission passes are sold out, but 2-day, 1-day, and VIP are still available.
