I don't remember the name, but they did not have burritos or bowls available. They had several wrap options using chicken, steak, and falafel, and were serving fries and moz sticks as well. Avoid avoid avoid. Edit: Top of the page. IRT munkivelli |

Elvis Costello-JLL-Beck is the best run in the history of this fest I heard that the circle pits at JLL were pretty fun |

What I got was not what I ordered (or very good), and both the employees and customers were all very frustrated. I got a steak burrito day 1, that was solid. Will go back there tonight. |

Main Street Grill was kind if a crazy operation too, as it was attached to another tent and operating as two food vendors in one and they were just running around like crazy to the point that it was kind of anxiety-inducing watching them, but they got my order right and the food was ok. |

Yesterday was great and I’m glad I came out. Cat Power, Elvis, and Beck were all awesome.

Very god weekend overall, aside from the personal stuff I had to deal with Friday night obviously. Only complaint about the fest this year was pretty bland food choices. Had tacos and a quesadilla at the one Mexican stand that was pretty good though. And they need to order a ton more of the Riot Fest Sucks cups next year, can't believe they ran out halfway through Sunday.
Favorites:
Misty
Interpol
Liz Phair
Gary Numan
Beck
Spitalfield
RTJ
Part of me thinks the crowd was pretty much on par with the past few years, although how many of those had free tickets might be another question.

My only wish is that they had given the headlining spot to Father John Misty instead of Run the Jewels. Would have loved another 15 or so minutes from him and RTJ played the same length of set that they always do. Still, both sets were fun though I have now seen the same RTJ set three times in 13 months so I’m probably gonna take a break from seeing them till the next album cycle.

Didn’t go yesterday but I had a good time the other two days. My only suggestions for improvements next year would be more food options- in a more convenient location, better lighting in the park and more drink and food vendors that accept debit and credit cards.

This fest would be perfect if I didn't have to spend the hour before I left home stressing about how long I was about to spend on the train and the hour before I left the fest stressing about how packed the pink line would be if I don't leave early.
Everyone I saw was great. I wish I had seen more. Best weather I can ever remember at a festival.

Curious about that JLL set His backing band played by themselves for the first 20 ish minutes. Then JLL came out. Need some help getting to the piano, but was decked out in a sparkly silver blazer, which he immediately took off. (He also untucked his shirt.) He played for about 35 minutes. Voice was pretty good and he still had that Jerry Lee attitude. The piano playing was very good, but obviously not as strong/flashy as it had been in the heyday. Played Roll Over Betthoven and Mexicali Rose. Ended with Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On which were great, even though some of the lyrics in Shakin' come off as super creepy coming from an octogenarian. Crowd was pretty into it - mrs ten15 and I almost got clocked by some clueless dancer. Very fun set - one of the best of the weekend. |

I love everyone here and am not looking to crucify anyone but why did you all go see the redneck incestuous pedophile?

Was anyone in the cycle pits at Suicidal Tendencies? That looked pretty wild.

Jerry Lee Lewis, I assume. Was there more than one redneck incestuous pedophile on the Riot Fest lineup? |

Had a lovely time at the festival, with much thanks to those on the board I got to hang with...don't think I saw an outright terrible set of music the whole weekend.
Food options, cell reception, and the heat were the only real negatives for me...and I think Riot Fest really only had control over one of those things.
For what seemed like a mess a week before the fest, everything went pretty smoothly.

Incubus probably would have made more sense playing in between Alk3 and RTJ anyways. |

I imagine the only reason Incubus wasn't on the main stage was so they could get a slightly longer set. They could have moved Bad Religion and given them that spot and still let them have their extra 15 minutes.

Sunday was the only day that truly felt like what i imagined the whole weekend would feel like crowd size wise.
Incubus had a big crowd but it wasn't that much bigger than Sum 41 on friday.

This is all likely a projection of me wanting to be in the presence of Father John Misty as long as possible. |

After all of the years of festivals and outdoor concerts, I had something happen on Saturday for the first time. Dude slightly ahead of me and to my right was smoking a big cigar during Elvis Costello. Big puff of raunchy smoke my way each time he chomped on it.
We were pretty close to the stage, so it was not very easy to move to avoid it. My wife and I loudly discussed how gross it was and maybe he heard us, because after about 5 minutes he stomped it out with his flip flop.

Only complaint about the fest this year was pretty bland food choices. the blandness was perfect for me. took my blood sugar when I got home on Saturday night and it was very low; after the fest Sunday night, it was 4 points off the lowest it has ever been. yea me and yea riot fest food selection. |
