The Single Day lineup has been announced and here at RF HQ we wanted to tell you exactly who you should plan to see across the festival weekend. We’re telling you because some of us don’t even get to see them. So you should. You should do it for us. Please do it for us.
Dan
“Weird Al” Yankovic
SONG: Dare to Be Stupid
It’s the ultimate Weird Al song and it’s NOT a parody (well it’s a STYLE parody of Devo but I digress)! I’m gonna squeeze all the Charmin I can when Mr. Whipple’s not around for this one.
SONG: Yoda
I want to see all the nerds with their lightsabers singing along to this stone-cold classic.
SONG: Albuquerque
IYKYK. ‘Nuff said.
Weezer
SONGS: The World Has Turned and Left Me Here, In the Garage, Only in Dreams
The Blue Album is one of my favorite albums of all time. I am SO READY to hear theses songs live.
Green Day
SONGS: Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around
Green Day has been one of my favorite bands since ’94. I pretty much celebrate their entire catalog, so I’m not picky, but I can’t wait to hear these songs in Douglass Park!

Wishy

I’ve loved Rico Nasty since 2018 and have been asking for her to play Riot since then, mostly as a pipedream. I can’t believe it’s really happening. I’m going to be yelling every word. Miss Rico Nasty, if you’re reading this, I love you and your new album.

Absolute fucking ripper machines, dude. They put on such a fun live performance, I’m excited to see them on a big stage.

My iPod HATED to see me comin’ with this band. So… what are the chances of Snakes on a Plane at the fest?

Everyone in the office knows I owe my life (no exaggeration) and more to this band, so I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you to go check them out for the millionth time. There’s no TWY performance quite like a Riot Fest TWY performance.

This band is STILL one of my guilty pleasures. I haven’t seen them play in a loooooonng time and I can’t wait to finally see them again.

Sparks is the only good band on the lineup this year. They influenced every other band on the lineup and if you don’t go see them I hate you.
Also that popping pussy song by Rico Nasty is great.
