FESTIVAL SEASONLive

Just when you think festival season couldn’t get any better, Riot Fest comes along. Despite last-minute difficulties faced by the Chicago festival in communicating with fans and dealing with headliners blink-182 pulling out, the renowned bash still managed to put on something very special which fell in line with everything which everyone had expected from Riot Fest: killer riffs, legendary names and an atmosphere unrivalled by any other festival. Christian Sarkine headed down to Chicago to capture the best of what Riot Fest had to offer.
