Riot Fest Denver 2016: Full Schedule & Single Day Tickets

Posted on June 29, 2016

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.)

Aimee Note: I have been trying to get Bryan to write more for this site, but it took Riot Fest to make it happen. Thank you, Riot Fest. RIOT FEST. Even the name strikes fear into the hearts of parents everywhere. Well, not all parents.…

2014 Was A Really, Really Good Year

We had some bad years. Primarily they started with my mom getting sick and ending with me getting sick. 2013 started to turn things around, but last year was good. Really, really good. Sure, we are still struggling out of a financial hole from those…
