February 5, 2026 (February 5, 2026) // Riot Fest

In honor of the Super Bowl happening in Santa Clara between the Seahawks and Patriots this Sunday, we decided to grab a bowl of salmon and a plate of clam chowder and see who would win if bands from Seattle and bands from New England went head to head.

Both cities have a pretty great history of music, but who has it better? We matched up the best bands and artists from each city and awarded 7 points to the winner of each head-to-head matchup. Scroll down to see the winner of Seattle vs New England.
