End of summer is unofficially here.Labor Day weekend marks the end of long summer days and mosquito ridden bike rides to make way for the pumpkin chai lattes of the world and weekends full of football.
Riot Fest invades the I-70 corridor across from the smoke stacks of the Purina factory on the northside next to the National Western Complex. Be ready for multiple stages, loud jams and rollicking good times. The set times for some of the bigger acts is a bit concerning, especially with Wolf Parade on opening day at 4:30. WTF? Unless you specifically have the day off, which is plausible, you’re going to miss one of the weekend’s biggest highlights IMHO.
You aren’t going to please everyone, but the list of talent on all three days more than makes up for any shortcomings. The Misfits, people. Nobody said it was going to happen.
And for those wondering what is okay to bring, Riot Fest says FANNY PACKS are okay.
