Riot Fest had to jump some hurdles to make the show happen, but in the end everything worked out and another dynamite weekend was had in Chicago.

The biggest issue was location. Some neighbors at the Douglass Park neighborhood didn't appreciate the noise from the three day festival or issues with parking. In June Riot Fest announced it was moving to the suburbs. But after some negotiations, there was an about-face. “Festivals are about activating and enhancing communities, and the North Lawndale community has been very clear that Riot Fest’s home is in Douglass Park,” Chicago Park District General Superintendent Rosa Escareño, said in the release.

While organizers and the city try to figure out a way to make Douglass Park a permanent home for Riot Fest, the bands and fans showed how lovely this event is every year.

Here are some examples.

Patrick of Fall Out Boy covered Robert Johnson

Despite being from the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Fall Out Boy had never performed the Robert Johnson classic, "Sweet Home Chicago."

Admitting it might be a cheesy or touristy to do, singer Patrick Stump broke into it anyways while playing guitar.

It was not cheesy.

Maybe they'll add it to their set for their two gigs in Mexico this month and their two at the When We Were Young fest in Vegas next month. Get your tickets here.

St. Vincent didn't even need her guitar to bring the drama

St. Vincent is such a fantastic musician and singer.

In her performance of one of her new songs, "Reckless," off All Born Screaming, all she needed was that voice to showcase her ability to build dynamic dramatics to her lyrics. She was even able to get some chatty attendees to finally pay attention.

Such is the nature of fests. In October she kicks off the European leg of the tour including stops at the Royal Albert Hall in London and Fabrique in Italy. Tickets available on St. Vincent's website.

Beck never forgot where he came from

While performing his first big hit, "Loser" the Grammy-winning Beck looked out at the Saturday night crowd during his headlining set and acknowledged his rock n' roll success.

"I remember the first time I came to Chicago," the LA native said in the middle of the song, "in those days we used to play at the Metro."

Lo and behold, the first time he played at the Metro in his career was 30 years and two months ago on the Mellow Gold tour, the breakthrough album that contained "Loser."

Beck's scheduled to play at two different festivals this weekend. Then next month he'll be in Mexico. Tickets available on his website.

The kids entertained each other with some good (not-so) clean ways

Was the weather perfect? Nope.

Excellent.

Slayer closed the fest with their first show in 5 years. SEE THE SETLIST

From 2018-2019, Slayer had their Slayer Final World Tour. It was 147 gigs around the world.

After their last song, "Angel of Death," rang out through the Forum in Los Angeles, Tom Araya singer/bassist hugged guitarists Kerry King and Gary Holt, along with drummer Paul Bostaph.

And that was it.

Five years later, they're all 60, and never said they were against doing one-offs. Riot Fest had the right timing.

So they headlined Sunday and completely ruled.

But before you get excited, King told Guitar World in July that no one should get their hopes up for a tour.

"Everyone thinks Slayer are getting back together, but that couldn't be further from the truth," he said. "

We've been turning down gigs ever since we stopped. This one came and I thought, 'If we're ever going to do one, this could be cool because it's the five-year anniversary of our final tour.'

They do have two more festivals they'll be raining blood unto. Louder than Life this weekend in Kentucky. And Aftershock in Sacramento next month. Tickets available on Slayer's website.
