Riot Mike’s Essential Riot Fest 2023 Playlist

Riot Mike’s become something of a legend for his festival lineup prowess – an uncanny ability to curate a lineup that never disappoints (He’s the boss, he made us say that). It’s like expecting a mosh pit at a piano recital, but somehow, it just works. As we inch closer to Riot Fest 2023, we forced Mike into giving us a sneak peek at his essential tracks. These are his handpicked favorites from the Riot Fest 2023 lineup, and if you’ve read even a single sentence on this website in the past 18 years, you’ll have an idea of what you’re in for (and also, what the hell is wrong with you?).

So sit back, enjoy, and if you haven’t already, score your Riot Fest tickets while you still can. Please hurry, Mike gets angrier and angrier at us every day.

Listen to the playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and watch out for the Riot Fest app update coming soon to an app store near you.
