John Stamos may finally attend Riot Fest — if organizers meet his quirky list of demands

CHICAGO - John Stamos says he’s finally ready to attend Riot Fest in Chicago, but the "Full House" star and Beach Boys drummer wants a few things in return.

What we know:

On Thursday, Riot Fest founder "Riot Mike" announced Stamos has "tentatively / begrudgingly" agreed to perform with The Beach Boys at the festival on Sept. 20 after more than a decade of playful prodding from organizers on social media.

However, before he books his flight, Stamos outlined nine demands. Among them:

• Riot Mike must get a John Stamos tattoo. (As of Aug. 19, this can be checked off the list! The tattoo on Riot Mike's left leg reads "Butter Stamos.")

• A John Stamos look-alike contest must be hosted during the festival.
• A Chicago pizza spot must create a Greek-style pie named after him. (As of Aug. 15, this can be checked off the list! Giordano's has whipped up "The Stamos Supreme." It features spinach, artichoke, and feta cheese.)

• His green room must be stocked with a John Stamos body pillow, a nude painting of Bea Arthur, and unlimited hummus served in a Gibson guitar case.
• The Riot Fest social media manager must give him a foot rub.

Other stipulations include a special Stamos-approved T-shirt, a ban on eye contact with his hair, permission to call Riot Fest "Riot Fart," and John Stamos masks for the crowd.

Riot Fest says it will work to fulfill the list over the coming weeks.

What's next:

The annual three-day punk rock/alternative music festival will return to Chicago's Douglass Park from Sept. 19-21.

Blink-182, Weezer and Green Day were announced as headliners, along with Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols, Jack White and Idles.

Over 90 artists will perform across five stages with a variety of food, beverage and retail options. Oh, and don't forget about the carnival rides.
