Overview

• The band headlined Friday at Riot Fest in Chicago with a set built around fan favorites and recent tour revivals.
• Matt Skiba joined for “Bored to Death,” reprising his stint with the group after performing earlier with Alkaline Trio.
• Descendents guitarist Stephen Egerton appeared on “Hope,” the cover reinstated in August for the first time since 2003, which Mark Hoppus called a “bucket list” moment.
• Tom DeLonge said a quick pre-show run-through left him emotional, crediting the Descendents as formative influences.
• BrooklynVegan published video of both guest collaborations, photos by James Richards IV, and the full setlist, as Alkaline Trio played Maybe I’ll Catch Fire in full with rarities not performed since 2015 and released a new Travis Barker–produced single that day.
