Schedule released for Riot Fest in September

Schedule released for Riot Fest in September

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Riot Fest is returning to Douglass Park this fall, and the lineup for all the performances dropped Thursday morning.

There's been some controversy about the musical festival, with some neighbors on the West Side fighting to move it, complaining about the crowds and the mess they leave behind.

But on Wednesday, the Chicago Park District approved the permit for things to go on as planned. On Thursday, the festival's founder said organizers aren't just following the rules, they're going above and beyond. 

"When it comes to our landlord, the Chicago Park District, they set up community guidelines late last year, said Riot Fest Founder Mike Petryshyn. "In our case, we went over and beyond, I think, every other festival in Chicago."

Riot Fest starts September 15th. Headliners include Foo Fighters, the Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Cure.
