ALEXISONFIRE

One of the few reunion shows, makes me feel
pretty lucky, although I may have heard a rumour there could be some more shows
added.ALEXISONFIRE

Motörhead

Oh Lemmy, what can I say! Their mix of
rock, punk and heavy metal intensity is just what I’m looking for.

Weezer x2

I’m just going to say it, I’ve never seen Weezer live. Thank you RiotFest for letting me get in a two for one. Day 1 – Pinkerton, Day 2 – Blue. I can hardly wait!Weezer

The Airborne Toxic Event

One of my all time favourites, super happy they’re on the bill and any time I can see these fantasic musicians play, I’m in.

Wu Tang Clan

What??? Yes, I can’t believe I’m going to get to shoot these guys. They’ve got a new album, “A Better Tomorrow” dropping December 2nd and I’m pretty sure we’ll get to hear some of it on Sunday.

Rancid

They’re playing Out Come The Wolves, only my favourite album. When did this become a thing? I’m glad it is.

Andrew W.K.

This is another “I can’t believe I get to shoot this” moment. Not only does he party hard, he’s so smart!

Thrice

A reunion I’m thrilled about.

Die Mannequin

Love, love, love. So glad they’re on the bill.

Against Me

Insert emotional attachment here. Lots of history with this band. Looking forward to new material.

Gwar

CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THIS BAND! Masters of the stage show this should be fantastic.

The Dirty Nil

I first saw these guys at Canadian Music Week and they blew me away. Great energy, they’re localish, from Hamilton and they deserve to be there.

Stuck on Planet Earth

They were on the same bill as The Dirty Nil at CMW and well worth your time at Riot Fest.

Tasha the Amazon

And I’ve been told I absolutely have to check out Tasha the Amazon doing zero research and going into it open.

Tasha the Amazon

I’m going to stop but there are so many more go check out the schedule and if you haven’t bought a ticket yet, what are you waiting for?

To be honest, this lineup is problematic in that, it’s impossible as one human being to see everyone you’d like to see. A pretty awesome problem to have.

Did I miss your favourite? Let us know who you think we should add to our list!
