Riot Fest
Celebrating 20 years of not booking the bands you wanted, in the order you wanted, for free.
- Yesterday just reminded me what bunch of fucking nerds y’all are over here on this website.
- The funniest thing about this website is no one has a sense of humor.
- Our brand is disappointment so I'm not sure that bodes well for you.
- Save me @riotfest.bsky.social. You're my only hope for an enjoyable music festival experience.
- See you back in Douglass Park this September for our 20th Anniversary of Riot Fest. Last call for lowest presale ticket prices.
- The holidays are about buying crap you don’t want. Riot Fest 20th Anniversary Holiday Presale starts tomorrow at 10 AM CST: riotfest.tixr.com/riotfest2025
- Just a reminder to stay hydrated at music festivals.
- oh!
- OMG?!

- No.
- Can we post full hole on here or is that just for the other place?
- We’ll ruin this place soon too.
