The flagship music festival, to take place July 31 through Aug. 3 in Grant Park this summer, will release its highly anticipated music lineup Tuesday, according to organizers. The festival in recent years has typically included eight primary headliners, with two headliners performing at the conclusion of the festival's events each evening.
It wasn't immediately clear what time Tuesday the lineup would be announced.

In November 2024, Pitchfork Music Festival, which had been held in Chicago's Union Park since 2005, announced it would not be held in 2025, ending a nearly 20-year run. And Riot Fest's 2024 music festival nearly moved to the suburbs following disagreements with the Chicago Park District, but wound up being held in its longtime home of Douglass Park.
According to Riot Fest's website, the 2025 music festival is slated to take place again in Chicago at Douglass Park Sept. 19-21.
