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.
Old post on the 2008 Riot Fest with band listings and information.
Damn, why can’t Dillinger Four be there for this years event!
