Riot Fest got off to a late, muddy and soggy start on Sunday, the last day of the annual music festival in Douglass Park.
Largemouth and Sincere Engineer represented Chicago punk rock to kick off the day. Alanis Morissette and William Shatner made their festival debuts, followed by headliners Pierce the Veil and Insane Clown Posse.
Here’s what we saw on Day 2 of the festival.
