Riot Fest finally gave us the official lineup just two weeks ago. What are your thoughts? I’ve been hearing mixed reviews amongst the grapevines; some are ecstatic that Twenty One Pilots are playing, while some were hoping for some bigger pulls like Green Day or A Day To Remember. Be careful what you say because you never know who might hear you. Riot Fest has eyes and ears everywhere — you might get smoked on Twitter for saying something. I love that there are so many amazing, smaller bands playing, who I’ve seen play basement shows. I love getting to watch bands play in a room of fifty to playing massive stages in front of hundreds. Riot Fest is a tremendous deal for bands, and it’s so great to see them support the local scene. You just never know who’ll be the next big thing until you’ve missed that moment. 

The lineup is dropped, get your tickets before you miss out, because remember: Here’s to 21 years of celebrating Riot and hopefully many more!
