Riot Fest will be considerably bigger this year than last in several ways:
Riot Fest has just announced its 2014 lineup, and it features Slayer, The Cure, Wu Tang Clan, Die Antwoord and more.The festival will make its second appearance in Denver (well, technically Byers, where the host May Farms is located) from September 19 to 21.
The Fest will be three days instead of two and feature four stages instead of three. They’re also doubling the number of both camping spaces and carnival rides as well as adding a second VIP area and more shade tents. Some logistical concerns from last year have been addressed as well — there will be free parking and organizers promise a reconfigured layout designed to help alleviate traffic concerns.
The rest of the lineup is below, along with some more information about this year’s Riot Fest
With Riot Fest Denver now just a week away, it’s time to gear up for one of the biggest weekends in music that Denver has seen this entire year.
The sophomore season for Riot Fest Denver did start off with a rather precarious situation involving festival location, as Byers, Colorado — last year’s hometown for Riot Fest’s inaugural Rocky Mountain concert series — rejected and voted against the festival taking place in the eastern Coloradan “middle of nowhere” plains-ville. After a few days of deliberation, the Riot Fest hierarchy decided on a location centered around one of the state’s most active sports stadium … Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Sophomore slump … I think not.
Not only has the festival become more centralized, but the dirt, dust, hail, tornado warnings (and just about any other festival-jeopardizing weather-related event that occurred last year), will be all but non-existent on the Denver Broncos’ burning blacktop lots. (To note: The Denver Broncos will be visiting the Seattle Seahawks for some Superbowl retribution the same weekend.)
With a 3-day lineup that rivals any festival of the entire summer, Riot Fest will be rocking from start to finish in the Mile High City.
