This year the folks at Riot Fest have done something different. They are holding the three-day festival in three different venues. Rumor has it they couldnt afford to rent out the giant Congress Theatre for all three days so they are renting it out for one, and then renting the Double Door and the House of Blues for one as well. The House of Blues is taking the mainstream acts (of course, because thats what brings them money) such as The Lawrence Arms. The Double Door is playing host to the smaller acts and the Congress is hosting the best of the line-up. Find out more information here.

Going to a show would be an all round good time- perfect for drinking and swaggering along with good friends.
