Riot Fest takes on 3 local artists each year, it’s an important tradition that makes Riot Fest, Riot Fest. Taking up the drums for The Beach Boys will be long time Riot Fest avoider John Stamos. Track Zero veterans, DEHD, will make their Riot fest debut from 4:50-5:30 with their fun and danceable tunes. Riot Fest, even while sharing a headliner with Coachella, still holds DIY values at heart. From uplifting local artists, to hosting camps in Douglass Park during festival offseason, there is a distinct feeling only found at Riot Fest.
