Riot Fest returned to Chicago's Douglass Park last weekend for three days and nights, headlined by Nine Inch Nails, My Chemical Romance, and the Original Misfits. While retaining true to the fest's punk and indie spirit, the lineup featured nearly 100 artists across multiple genres, from alt-heroes Yeah Yeah Yeahs to rap legend Ice Cube to old school punks Descendents to rising stars like The Linda Lindas, Renforshort, Bob Vylan, and carolesdaughter. And as in past years, there was also no shortage of bands that were mainstays on the Warped Tour circuit, including Taking Back Sunday, Anberlin, Yellowcard, and The Story So Far, among others.

When photographer Timothy Hiatt wasn't busy taking artist portraits for FLOOD backstage, he was traipsing across the festival grounds trying to capture as many sets as possible. Check out highlights below.
