The Four Chord Music Festival is moving back to EQT Park — the baseball stadium for the Washington Wild Things — and this year’s lineup, fittingly, looks like a home run.

Four Chord Music Fest 11 is set for Sept. 13-14, with Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World headlining the first night, and AFI and Jawbreaker closing the second night.

After moving to Carrie Furnace at the former U.S. Steel Homestead Steel Works last year, the festival, which showcases national and local punk rock, pop punk and indie bands, is back at the former Wild Things Park, where it had been held the prior three years.

Blink-182 sold out PPG Paints Arena in 2023, while Jimmy Eat World opened for Fall Out Boy at PPG last year. In addition to those two bands, the rest of Saturday’s lineup includes Hot Mulligan, Bowling For Soup, State Champs, Set Your Goals, Knuckle Puck, Home Grown, Eternal Boy, Driveways, Charly Bliss, Patent Pending, Keep Flying and Boy in Blue Stripes.

With punk icons AFI and the highly influential Jawbreaker finishing Sunday night, they’ll be joined by Alkaline Trio, Say Anything, Face to Face, The Wonder Years, Drug Church, Punchline, Koyo, DeathbyRomy, Sincere Engineer, Like Roses, Runt and Mallory Run.

Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday at fourchordmusicfestival.com, with general admission, VIP, deluxe VIP choices, as well as a new layaway option, with some early bird tickets and packages available now.

“We’ve worked hard to make this year’s festival something special, not only with this incredible lineup, but by making it more accessible for our fans than ever before,” founder Rishi Bahl said in a statement. “We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at EQT Park!”
