Riot Fest Late Night Aftershow - Chat Pile with Soul Glo

This Riot Fest Late Night Aftershow brings together two heavy-hitting bands, Chat Pile and Soul Glo, for a double bill. Chat Pile is known for their bleak, unsettling noise rock and sludgy sound, often delving into themes of societal decay. Soul Glo delivers an urgent, explosive style of hardcore punk, blending raw energy with sharp lyrical commentary. This pairing offers a compelling contrast of modern heavy music. The show takes place on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Chicago's Empty Bottle, a long-standing independent venue known for its intimate setting and diverse bookings. It's a late-night set, perfect for those looking to continue the energy after a day at the festival. This bill will appeal to fans of intense, boundary-pushing rock and punk.
