OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM RIOT MIKE
VIEW FULL-SIZED MAP HERE

Riot Fest & Sideshow in Denver. Thank you for being patient this past week. We are thrilled to announce the new venue will be Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in downtown Denver located at 1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204. All tickets will be honored at the new location and refunds for those who purchased camping spots will be forthcoming.

We have a lot of information for you, so please read everything carefully.

Unfortunately, some people didn’t want YOU or US in their town. Since we were forced to move Riot Fest away from its inaugural home in Byers, CO, we are bringing Byers to you at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in downtown Denver on Sept. 19-21st. Plans include turfing the parking lot of the stadium and bringing all the things to love about a farm (tractors, hay bales, etc) together with all the things to love about a fair (rides, pie eating contest, apple bobbing, etc).

 

Thank you Riot Fest fans and family for being patient this past week and thank you for standing alongside us. And even though Riot Fest will be at Mile High Stadium this year, we have officially filed an appeal with Arapahoe County as of this morning because we know we are right. Again, all tickets will be honored at the new location and refunds for those who purchased camping spots will be forthcoming.

FAQ

Yes! All tickets previously purchased for Denver’s Riot Fest & Sideshow will be honored at the new location at Mile High.

We are very sad to be forced to leave Riot Fest & Sideshow’s inaugural home at May Farms but are confident that Mile High will be well suited for the fest! A full statement from festival owner Riot Mike can be read HERE.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, we were not able to have the festival at May Farms as originally planed. The fest will now be held at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, and we are confident that Mile High will be a great alternate venue as it is conveniently located right in downtown Denver. Moreover, the folks at Mile High are allowing us to bring May Farms look and feel to Denver! Take a look at our updated festival map HERE.

We are so sorry that we can no longer offer onsite festival camping. A refund will be issued to the credit card used to make the purchase, and you will receive a refund confirmation via email. Please allow 5 to 7 business days for funds to appear back in your account. We understand that refunding will not solve your lodging situation, but to help accommodate your lodging needs we would like to extend some exclusive hotel options at discounted rates. Please keep an eye out from an email from Ticketfly with more information.

Free onsite parking will be available at the Mile High grounds on a first come come, first served basis!

3-Day VIP passes include the following:
– Admission into Festival Grounds, 09/19 – 09/21
