Welp, here we are, another installment of the Riot Fest music festival and …. Rodeo? 

This morning the camp over at Riot Fest announced the annual shindig would take place at the National Western Complex when it scoots back into town on Aug 28-30. 

“They understand who we are, want to see the fest succeed and are sincerely some of the nicest people I’ve met in quite some time,” Riot Fest founder Michael Petryshyn tells Reverb of the National Western Complex. “It still moves me to see people care about Riot as much as I do.”

Early bird 3-day passes go on sale at noon tomorrow, April 24, and cost $69.98.

As of yet there’s still no word on whether camping will be available for the festival, however, it’s the National Western Complex — finding parking is going to be a chore, let alone finding a spot big enough to house a few thousand drunks.

The full lineup is expected to be released somewhere at or around May 13 — as it has been every year. When that comes through our desk we may or may not post it, we’ll see how we feel at that particular time.
