Watch: Riot Mike Answers 15 Fan Questions

The founder of Riot Fest is here to answer all your burning questions
September 3, 2019 (December 6, 2022) // Riot Fest

Hopefully you haven’t forgotten, but it’s our 15th anniversary this year. It’s been a long journey since the days of multi-venue club shows, and there’s one person who has seen it all: Riot Fest founder Mike Petryshyn, affectionally known as Riot Mike.

With just 10 days left until this year’s Riot Fest, we got the boss man himself to take a seat and answer all your burning questions about Riot Fest. Who was the hardest reunion band to book? What was the deal with the Flaming Lips power outage of 2014? Why are hot dogs sold in packs of 10, but buns in packs of 8? Riot Mike is here to tell all. Watch below:
