Just a heads up the 5 day passes are now out. You can still get 3 day passes but no chance at the 5 day passes any longer.
Saw this on the ticket section and figured readers would be interested in knowing.
Here is a link to one of the venues that will be hosting a number of the shows for Riot Fest. Some of the bands that will be playing this venue are Corrosion Of Conformity, Cro-Mags and the Meatmen.

Not so much information specific to Riot Fest but there are a number of news pieces about a number of the bands that will be playing this year.
Have they really only had 200 bands over the last 4 years? I figured they had to have more since this years lineup is expected to go over 100 bands.
