Headliners for the 2021 edition of Riot Fest were announced Friday.
Among the bands scheduled for the three-day, live music fest Sept. 17-19 at Douglass Park, are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and Oscar winners Nine Inch Nails, the Smashing Pumpkins, Devo, Faith No More, Run the Jewels, Vic Mensa and Pixies. Three-day passes are now on sale at riotfest.org. Single-day passes will go on sale next week.
In an unprecedented move, festival organizers also announced a ticket on-sale for the 2022 edition of the festival (slated for Sept. 16-18, 2022) revealing My Chemical Romance is already scheduled to perform. The band had been booked for the 2020 festival, which was canceled due to the COVID pandemic. Tickets for the 2022 festival are also on sale at riotfest.org.
