RIOTFEST FESTIVAL (Chicago Humboldt Park, 12/09/14-14/09/14)



Not sure if RiotFest really was the festival for me in retrospect, but fun was had regardless. A Biblical storm on the first day turned Humboldt Park into an absolute mudbath (which made its frankly bizarre layout even more of an effort to traverse) and I swiftly realised that I was probably right to give pop-punk a wide berth in my teenage years, but the likes of Patti Smith, The Flaming Lips, Gogol Bordello, The Hold Steady, Television, Die Antwoord, Paul Weller, Metric, Wu-Tang Clan, Tegan and Sara and The Cure made up for the inescapable fug of weed and Offspring fans.
