I almost hate to think about how quickly Riot Fest is approaching because that means the end of summer will be here before we know it. This music festival features punk, rock, alternative, metal, plus hip-hop and celebrates its fourth year in Denver this Labor Day, but has rocked Chicago since 2005. I have been lucky enough to photograph all years here, from out on the plains in Byers to the latest fun at National Western Stockshow. Riot Fest announced the final line-up this week, including who would appear on what day and the ability to purchase single day tickets. (We bought 3-day VIP at early bird prices because they are worth every penny.)
