Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Daily Riot Fest Roundup

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2017
October 3, 2017 (October 3, 2017) // Riot Fest


The only real news of the day…

https://riotfest.org/2017/10/great-tom-petty-passed-away/


Here’s some new music from the Breeders for the first time in eight years! This single will be released over three different 7-inches, with each having a different cover song as the B-side and only available for purchase at the band’s upcoming concerts. I’m in.


Fuck, that’s interesting! As if Action Bronson wasn’t busy enough already, he’s got another cooking show coming October 23rd to Viceland. Check out this preview of The Untitled Action Bronson Show, where he’ll be cooking for famous-types.


The Flatliners have a new podcast! Check out the first episode of Carry the Banner, where they talk to members of the Menzingers.


Hey, look! Here’s a new Green Day tribute album for charity, starring Kevin Devine and others.


A free Vic Mensa show this Thursday? Yes! Better hurry up and get on it right here, people…


Riot Fest superfan Henry “Hank” Anderson suffered a heart attack the day after he attended the festival last month. Please go donate to his GoFundMe page and support your Riot brethren.



You’re not wrong. Very often.

I Need To Know, by Tom Petty, besides being amazing, is absolutely the template for every Turbonegro song. this is just a personal theory
