My Chemical Romance (who will take the stage Friday night)

Riot Fest has long been known for incorporating special elements and surprises into the festival weekend—full-album plays, tributes to John Stamos in the form of butter, ice and wood sculptures, secret sets, late night shows, and plenty more to keep attendees on their toes. This year will be no different, with the festival already adding on a special "Preview Party" to kick things off on Thursday,
September 16 for dedicated fans who purchased their tickets well in advance. Fans will have to stay tuned to see exactly what else is in store for this year.
Founded in 2005, Riot Fest is an independent music festival featuring the best of punk, rock 'n' roll, hip hop, metal, alternative, and just about everything in between. Founder Riot Mike is credited with helping to reunite iconic bands like Naked Raygun, the Replacements, the Misfits, and Jawbreaker, among many other reunions—a staple of Riot Fest, alongside full album performances, carnival rides, and the occasional butter sculpture.
