Riot Fest returns to Chicago’s Douglass Park this September 19–21, celebrating 20 years as one of the country’s biggest rock festivals. We wanted to see which booking agencies were behind this year’s lineup, so we used Booking Agent Info’s music industry directory to find out.

At the top, Wasserman and CAA are tied for the largest share, each representing 13% of the lineup.

Wasserman brings acts like Dropkick Murphys, Knocked Loose, and SOFT PLAY, while CAA counters with heavyweights Green Day, Blink-182, and Rico Nasty.

Just behind them is WME with 12%, repping legends like Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter and Jack White alongside newer names like Inhaler.

Together, the three major agencies dominate over a third of the entire bill.

Ground Control Touring makes a major showing with 9% of the lineup, including Alkaline Trio, Militarie Gun, and Senses Fail.

Sound Talent Group follows with 8% (Hanson, Honey Revenge, Citizen), and Sequel Music Group adds 7% with artists like Delta Sleep, Knuckle Puck, and Microwave.

Paladin Artists carves out space at 3% thanks to punk staples such as Cliffdiver, Marky Ramone, and The Damned.

35% of the lineup is represented by a variety of other agencies and artists booking in-house.

It should be noted that we excluded 5 artists whom we didn’t have data.
